Catch That Horse!

Reported in the Riverside Daily Press on December 12, 1913:

A team belonging to Mr. Turner, while standing in front of the Wineville Cash grocery, became frightened at a passing overland train and started to run. They overturned and nearly demolished a motorcycle standing in the road and circled out through a vineyard. D.E. Bulson* ran and pluckily jumped into the back of the wagon and stopped the horses before any further damage was done. The driver of the team had the task of gathering up the groceries, which were scattered from the wagon in the road and the vineyard.  

*Mr. Bulson was the owner at that time of the Wineville Cash grocery store.
