He immediately im-mediately phoned information of the trouble to the police station and Desk Sergeant Wilson called Chauffeur Nelson to go to the scene and to pick up one of the officers on his way out. Argubright was at the station when the call came in and boarded the auto patrol with Nelson and at Twenty-fourth Twenty-fourth street, Sergeant Peterson, Alex Wilkinson, Hy Montgomery and Dow Browning were picked up. Greenwell, who had forgotten all about his lunch, joined them and they proceeded to the rescue of the horse and wagon. They found that the outfit belonged to T. Kikushima, proprietor of the Sunrise laundry, and that the driver had driven into the river to wash the wagon, but the current proved too strong and overturned it. The driver, a Japanese, had been tipped off the seat, but managed to reach the shore, wet, but safe. |
