Harry Mestayer of the Burbank
stock company had narrow escape
from death yesterday morning when
his horse got into quickSand in the
river bed near the park. The animal
went down to his shoulders, and for
a minute things looked desperate. His
hind legs, however, were on solid sand.

rear and then pulled him around, al
most by main strength, out of danger.
The horse is family pet, and while
the actor might readily have jumped
to safety, leaving the animal to his
fate, he didn't do it, even though the
treacherous sand crept half way to
his boot tops before he succeeded in
extricatng himself and his mount
from their dangerous predicament.
