FENDER HITS DOG; BREAKS
New Device Of Los Angeles Railway
Torn from Fastening by Strik-
ina Small Cur

Conceit regarding his sprinting abili-
ties came near costing a French poodle
his life yesterday afternoon and ruined
the bright visions of the inventor of
the gaspipe tenders recently adopted
by the Los Angeles railway.
Car No. 2Ss on the Garvanza and
University line was rapidly descending
Monte Vista street when the envious
woolly cur decided to race with the car.
The dog, with twenty-foot lead, took
up the pace but he did not notice that
the motorman, who did not want 70
lose to a dog, had slipped the con-
troller UP a notch or two.
Before the canine was aware of 1t he
was being rolled in the dust and then
suddenly was tossed to the side. The
car came to sudden stop. An investi-
cation revealed that the fender had
been twisted and torn from it's fasten-
ings.
