Narrow Escape

by Laurel | September 23rd, 2009

September 23, 1902, page 8

A horse owned by Louis Lamberton met with a narrow escape yesterday noon. In going down Dwight street it crossed the tracks and slipped and fell in front of a Fairview line car. The car struck it and cut a gas in its head, but it is believe that it is not seriously injured. Dr. Moynihan attended it. No one was hurt.
