After Men Had Failed To Do It.
Grabbed A Horse By Bit, Dragged Half Block But Clung On.
    Saturday evening Willie Litt, an 8 year old boy living on the west side performed a daring feat for, while men watched a runaway team dash up the street, he threw down his pack of newspapers and ran out, catching one horse by the bit and bringing it to a stop after it had dragged him a half block.
    The team started from in front of Hoffman’s. The boy was across the street and saw them turn to go north.
    Several men tried to stop the horses before they got a good start but were unsuccessful.
    Then the boy made a dash and though thrown off his feet and dragged along the snow he hung on and the team stopped near Clayton Street.
