Horse Caught On Trestle
A horse performed a neat stunt Saturday night by trying to cross the trestle belonging to the street car company over the small arroyo where the track curves onto Iturbide street. The legs of the animal went through the space between the ties and it took some little time to extricate it without damage to the animal or the men who were lending assistance. There is not much room on the sides of the trestle to work on, but finally the horse was gotten out without seriously injuring it.
