Bristol's equine population for. the greater part may admit the suprem- acy of the automobile, but not so with the horse owned by Daniel Hichwa, a milk man located on Stafford avenue. The fact was prov- ed conclusively yesterday morning when the animal threw down the gauntlet to the fire apparatus of the Welch Company, which was on its | way to a chimney fire at the home of Cyrus Wagner on Brook street. The fire truck, driven by Lieuten- ant George Brennan was rounding a curve at the top of the hill near the Marine Lamp Company on Brook street when he noticed Hichwa's horge, attached to a sleigh contain- ing numerous milk bottles. in the center of the streel about one hun- dred yards ahead. He sounded the siren and much to his surprise the animal, after looking around, threw up his heéls and dashed ahead in the same direction the truck was pro- ceeding. He kept strictly in the mid- dle of the road until he reachea Mechanic street, about a fifth of a mile away, where he turned in and came to a halt at the next stop ou the milk route. Hichwa in the meantime was breaking a few epeed records on foot. When he reached the sleigh he found it intact and none of the milk spilled.. ‘The fire apparatus continued to the Wagner home where the chim- ney fire was extinguished with chemicala. Wagner's home was visited by the fire department on February 1st for a blaze in a chimney in the ell part of the house. At that time Chief Acorns Smoke .650 500 2500 400 M. E. Church .
