vented by Patrolman Rice, on duty
at the corner of Raymond and Colorado

imal as it was about to dash up the
sidewalk among the crowds of women
shoppers.

the buggy around and the horse, sud-
denly taking fright, bolted before she
could get 1t under control. Several
blocks east and just east of police
headquarters, the maddened horse took
to the sidewalk to avoid an automo-
bile and, hitting the curb, the buggy
overturned, spilling the women out
on the pavement.

Pasadena sheet metal works. the an
imal bolted up an alley, striking and
damaging a wagon owned by that con-
Germ and laming seriously the horse

Dainty misses, whose names on other

through the streets clad in buckskin

swinging at their sides. Stalwart ath-
letes, business men and members of
