The delivery wagon was coming from

looking at the high buildings as he
did not see Mr.. Weinberger until he
was under the front feet of the pranc.
ing animal. Pedestrians rushed Il
his assistance and he was extracted
from his peri.ous position before he
had suffered any injury except a few
minor scratches and bruises. After he
was assisted 10 his feet he was able
TO walk TO his home although he was
considerably excited over the &C
