HORSE HATED 10 STAND IN FRONT Max Eaer of Schlits Brewing Company Finds Horse Is Prohibitionist. (Special to The Tlmes.) East Chicago, Ind., April 30. A runaway in which a number of pedestrians narrowly escaped injury occurred her yesterday afternoon, when a horse attached to a buggy in front of Friedman's liquor house in Forsyth avenue took fright and . tarted south down Forsyth avenue. The horse was the property of Max Paer of Schlltz's Brewing company, and had been left standing while Mr. Baer was inside the Friedman place. After runinng as far as Chicago avenue the animal turned west to Baring and ran thence to 14Sth street. At tlie corner of Baring and 14Sth street he attempted to turn east, but the turn was took short .and the buggy tipped over, carrying the horse down with It. Police Officer Meyer Rybeckl, who witnessed the accident, ran to the prostrate animal and before he could get up had secured a firm hold of his bit, and when the horse had scrambled to his feet, he succeeded in quieting him sufficiently to permit tho officer to mount the buggy and drive the horse, whom he recognized, back to the place whence he started. The horse was unharmed by the experience, and nobody was injured, although a number of persons who happened to be in the path of the frightened horse were obliged to make use of unwonted agility in order to escape being run down.
