The accident further demonstrates the mistake of the Phelan administration in reducing the number of patrolmen in a section sadiy in need of more police protec bout 4 o'cloc] the animal, which had probably escaped from some vacant lot near by, hed into the park road at Sixth avenue. The brute was not attached to a wagon and was minus harness, and_as he ran along the road he became suddenly frightened and tore along at a rapid rate. The frenzied animal narrowly escaped several pedestrians on the road, when he was seen by Captain Thomson, who chased after him on horseback. Thomson tried to lasso the horse several times, but was unsuccessful until he reached the corner of Halght and Ashbury streets, when his lariat threw the runaway horse. The latter tugged hard at the rope and -succeeded in throwing Thomson to the ground, where he lay unconsclous for sev- cral minutes. The patrol wagon was sent for and Thomson was taken to the Stan- yan-street station, where a v ination dis several _bruis shaken up. 3 also a s cussion of the brain.

Officer Arellanes, who had come up on the scene by that time, went after the animal on his horse, and after a few blocks’ ride brought him to_a halt with his lariat. That no one was injured in the park during the mad run of the frightened ani- mal was a miracle. There was quite path of the runaway, but nately escaped injury. This s the second fime within a period of two months that Thomson has received injuries in the discharge of his duty. He was severely hurt in an encounter with a | maddened buffalo several months ago and had only recently recovered. The fact is that the park roads should be better pa- trolled than they are at present and the danger from similar accidents would be reduced to a minimum they fortu- The Philippine Commission Sails.

He asked that Duncan’s sentence be put off for a few months until the re- sult of the experiment could be deter-| mined. Montgomery said he had tried be- fore to reform Duncan, but so far he had | fajled. He said, however, that he was | willing to try again, and he asked the court to let him make the attempt.
