Two Accidents Attract Big
Crowd in Market Street

Mrs. Eleanor Martin. San Francisco's
society leader. and Frank del Carlo.
a humble fish peddler living at 519
Berlin avenue, met with similar mis-
haps yesterday afternoon in front Of
the Claus Spreckels building. The mist
rendered the dust coated pavement as
treacherous for the high strung ami
NAL of Mrs. Martin as for the dilap-
idated nag belonging to Del Carlo.
Both horses went down at almost the
same time, but the better cared for
animal promptly righted himself, while
the other remained PROSTATE.
A crowd quickly gathered, and all
sorts of advice was given Del Carlo
as to how to get his animal up. Sacks
were placed on the horses hoofs and
men tugged at tail and neck while the
owner pleaded with his animal TO arise
At the sixth attempt the horse was per-
Suaded to stand up, but a bystander
had to serve as a prop for the animals s
southwest corner to keep him on his
feet.
At length the horse had recovered
sufficiently to be led into Third street.
but the human prop was still necessary
to prevent collapse.
