Runaway on Spring Street

Quite an excitement was caused on
Spring street about e 80 last evening by
runaway team, hitched to q light ex
press wagon. The horse, which had evi
IDENTIFY beeh left united. started down
Spring street from near Seventh, and al
though going at a very dangerous rate oil
speed, wound in and out among the ve-
hiclss tbronging the street at that hour
as carefully as though guided by an ex.
psrienced driver, until they were sudden
ly confronted near Fourth street by a
curious aparition of wildly wavi n .
arms and legs. This customary feature
of u Los Angeles runaway completed the
dem oralization of the animals, already
excited by the yells and shouts of the By.
ISLANDERS, and caused them to turn sud.
denly into Fourth street. where the of
horse slipped and fell, bringing his mate
~ standstill a few feet in front Of a
north pound electric car.
No damage WAS done unless we take
into account the effect UPON the nerves
Of the motorneer or the excIteu indivld-
ual who tried to stop the team by bis
windmill like gyrations. 81 Z.

One OF the finest and most perfectly
managed lines Of suburban railway in
the United States is that Of the Pasadena
and Pacific line, which connects Los An
gelss with adjacent suburban cities and
towns. On the west the line reaches the
coast, while to the cast anu north the fertile
valley Of San Gabriel 10 traversed. The
equipment is as good as money and
scientific knowledge can produce. The
cars, track, power bouss and terminal
facilities are as nearly perfect as human
ing nuity can devise.
The service furnished by this line,
though always entirely satisfactory to
the public, is being at this time much
improved by increased speed and the al
dition OF more cars. The western extern
sion OF the line to the ocean promises to
be as profitable as the main line to Pasa-
