children were thrown or jumped out.
and were not hurt seriously. The team
continued east to Raymond avenue,
where a sewer is being laid. In the
center of the street are holes three by

the team was approaching at a lively
pace bystanders shouted to the men
working in these holes to look out, and
William Verdugo started to climb out.
He WIS struck, receiving cut on the
arm. which was dressed at the receiv-
ing hospital Manuel Diez was in the
second hole, in which the team quickly
plunged. Manuel crouched to save his
life, and one of the horses fell into the
hole, breaking the animals neck and

drove out of the way in time to avoid
a collision.
