An exciting runaway! Courageous conduct of Tom Rawlings! Last evening a horse owned by Capt. Gray, attached to a cart, suddenly bolted. Tom Rawlings sprang forward, and caught the horse by the bridle, but was thrown down. Without letting go the bridle he jumped up instantly and bravely held on, stopping the animal. The cart was uninjured, but the horse was hurt on the back by the shaft, and the plucky rescuer was slightly injured in the right knee.
