Dozen in San Francisco Bull Rampage Tops City Streets
A wild bull, shipped from a ranch for San Quentin prisoners, escaped into the streets of San Francisco. It chased through Clay Street to Front and Broadway, tossing a lace shawl-wearing woman and numerous bystanders, until captured after a long, dangerous pursuit. The bull weighed about 1700 pounds, with the vaquero arrested for cattle in the streets.
