They Used Horse Sense.

A team of horses, owned by a firm in Indianapolis decided to move without their driver. The horses, drawing a dray, started slowly. They were Just behind the white line at Meridian and Maryland streets when the traffic man turned the semaphore. The "stop” sign faced the horses and they stopped. In a few minutes the traffic man turned the semaphore and the “go” sign faced the horses. They went. As the team stopped at the “stop” sign and started at the “go" sign the traffic man failed to notice they were driverless. The horses slowly walked to the next corner and again the “stop” sign was up. The horses stopped. And this is the way the driver caught them when he did.
