HORSE OF MORE IMPORTANCE.
When Told Car Hit Employe,
Grocer Asks About the Rig.
At Tenth street and Troost avenue yesterday a man got in the way of a trolley car. He was saved by the motorman lowering the fender. The man fell into the basket. Although considerably shaken up he was not hurt seriously.
Joseph Collingwood, a canvasser for the election commissioners, aided the man to a drug store. There the man requested that his employers, grocers, be told of the accident.
Collingwood called up the firm over a 'phone.
"Your delivery clerk has been hurt by a trolley car," he explained.
"How about the horse? Was it damaged?" Collingwood was asked.
The employers were told that the horse and wagon were not in the wreck. The man at the other end said, "That's good."
