| Sn Ee BACKED AW OF ‘ RUNAWAY HORSE But Thin Policeman Todd Stopped Animal on Broadway. by Twisting One Rein Around the Brute’s Head. ——— CROWD CHEERED THE HERO. Was Brought Up In the Country and Learned There the Trick Which He Modestly Is the Easiest Thing on Earth. A thin and rather insignificant-look- fmg man is Policeman Ira J. Todd. His uniform hangs loosely upon him and nis helmet hides a large portion of his face. A bibulous man looking for a “rough- house” would settle upon Todd as an easy victim. And there is just where he would get fooled, for the angular Dluecoat is easily the strongest man on the Broadway detail. Out where the city’s dead animals are buried there is gruesome proof of the policeman's strength, and courage. it isa dead horse. Last Monday afternoon this horse was prancing along Broad- way when, near Thirty-first street, it took it into its head to run away. A puny young man was holding the reins, nd when the horse started up Hroad- ‘way like a bolt of lghtning the driver rolled back into the bed of the wagon and crouched there waiting for the end to come. ‘A shout of “runaway” went along the: thoroughfare. Cars came to a standstill and drivers began lashing their horses to get out of the way. Suddenly, in the midst of the confusion, a blue streak shot toward the runaway's head. in @nother moment Todd was holding to the animal's bit with one hand and twisting a rein around its head with the ‘other. The manner in which he wrapped that rein put a quietus to the horse's madness and eventually to its life, So tightly did he draw the strap that It broke the animal's lower jaw, and de- tween Thirty-first and Thirty-second Gtreets it fell ina heap. ‘ Then Todd was given an ovation. Cabmen, teamsters, motormen, con- @uctors end pedestrians gathered about Dim, cheering at the tops of thelr yoices. The bluecoat scrambled to his feet, helped the puny young man out of the wagon, picked up his battered hel- met, jammed it down over his eyes and Teturned to his post. “Here, you,” he shouted to a truck- man who had stopped to gaze in wide- mouthed wonderment at him, “get a move on you and quit blocking up the street or I'Jl run you in.” “You bet I will,” responded the truck- man. ‘I'm not takin’ any chances with a chap like you.” Then he drove on. In a little while the crowd dispersed and the etreet car men and teamsters forgot the heroic incident and resumed their noisy bickerings for the right of Boon, that wasn't nothing at all,”’ gaid Todd, as he shoved his helmet still further down over ‘his eyes. the easiest. th: on h to stoy run- y, provided you've got the nerve.
