Colonel Sellers Makes Sensa tional Race to Prevent Ac cident, Overtaking Horse With His Automobile, Col. D. K. B. Sellers was director, reading many and nearly the entire cast in an episode, staged Thursday morning in the Highlands, which for sensationalism rivalled the feats of reel heroes. There wasn't any faking in the colonel’s performance, how ever. Had a camera operator been on the job his film would not have required any retouehing. Tunning down and stopping a run away horse, which was galloping to ward the Library school, as children were flocking into the building, was Colonel Sellers’ stant. The colonel was in his automobile, of course, he is not claiming any eprinting records. The race began when Colonel Sell ers in the horse, drawing a meat market's woon plunge down an em bankment and pound toward West Central. The colonel cnded the driv er who leaped on his running board, and started after the horse. As the horse turned into Past Cen tral he plunged into a wood haulers team. ‘The collision turned the wood hauter’s horses on their backs, but the runaway kept geing. As he near ed the Library the automobile over took him and crowded him to the curb. The driver, leaning outward, caught the bridle. Then Colonel Sellers gave the run away a burst of honest-to-goodness speed. Seeing that the delivery wa gon would sideswipe his Automobile if he slackened, he gave the car full speed ahead and pulled the runaway around a corner. He then brought the oae and the runaway to a gradual atop.
