A somewhat shaken farmer
called police Tuesday when
he observed a damaged truck
speeding down a highway with
a horse in hot pursuit.
State police joined the chase
and arrested the two men in
the truck, one on a charge of
being drunk and disorderly
and the other for leaving the
scene of an accident.

within minutes the streets were
jammed with firemen, police
and curious onlookers.
Hatles and with his tan trench
coat whipping in the wind, Esca
lante alternately stood on the
ledge and sat on the brink with
his legs hanging in space.
As 20 firemen held a circular
rescue net on the sidewalk 120
feet below, Escalante screamed
and cursed his would-be rescu
ers and held them at bay with
threats of "Keep back "or I'll
jump."
An hour later, the man drank
a cup of coffee and smoked a
cigarette, offered by Father Jo
seph Wong of nearby St. Pat
rick's church.
Battalion Fire Chief Joseph

pint of whisky. The man reach

bottle. He pulled some money
from his pocket and offered it
to Dykes in payment.
As Dykes reached toward the
money, he grabbed Escalante by
the leg. Father Wong and Father
Martin Walsh grabbed the man
and he was pulled to safety.

threatened to jump from a "tall
building" or the Golden Gate
bridge.
"All he wanted to do was find
his wife" she explained.
