HORSE FELL INTO A TREE
Awaiting Aid, the Animal Tightly
clutched the Trunk With Hls
Rear Hoofs.

Visitors to Ferry Bar were much
surprised the other morning to see a
horse up among the branches of a
tree. The animal had gotten in it's
uncomfortable position by failing ten
feet from bank that overstopped the
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
The accident occurred while the
horse was grazing in pasture in the
rear Of the Baltimore Motor club at
Ferry Bar. John Mcmahon. SIT West
Fayette street, was at work on . mo-
tor boat when he was startled by q
conVulsive rustling in the tree near
by. Looking up he was startled to
see four hoofs jutting through the
leaves and swinging madly back and
forth. A moment later the hoofs be-
came still and the horse wrapped the
rear ones around the tree, clutehing
desperately to prevent further fall.
A call was sent to the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
and an ambulance was hurried to the

ehed TO a tree stump on top Of the hill
and leather belts were wrapped about
ths horse. When the work of hitching
the belts was completed it was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several Of the limbs of the tree
were cut off. This took considerable
time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work of the score or
more Of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
20 the top Of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re-
vealed that outside Of few scratches
he was injurod-Baltimor Ameri-
