say. She expressed gratitude over
the outcome Of the trial, which she
had confidently anticipated, and when
asked what plans she had, replied that
there was very little mapped out. At

said that he felt the verdict was in
accordance with the law and the evil

said, was the elimination that he and

NARROW ESCAPE
OF LITTLE GIRL

Eben P. Lows little daughter, ten
or twelve years old, had a narrow
escape from injury while horseback
riding yesterday. Her horse took fright
at the junction of King and South
streets and pranced on to the sidewalk,
where its hind feet slipped and it fell.
The child cIeverly withdrew a foot
from the stirrup and pluckily held on
to the reins as she alighted. As she
came down between the horse and an
old fence it was very fortunate that
she escaped without being hurt.
A motorman who happened to be
walking down Alapai street from the
power house ran to the little eques-
trienne's aid and helped her to re-
mount in safety. Miss Rose Dawson,
the humane officer, also happened to
be near and rendered assistance.
At the time of the mishap a King
street car was passing and the pas
sengers held their breaths at the
rhild's momentary peril.
