"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, February 15, 1905 HORSE IN AREAWAY. In moving around so as to get shelter from the cold wind, one of the horses of a delivery team for the May-Stern furniture store slipped on the icy pavement in the alley between that store and the Hotel Baltimore shortly after noon yesterday and fell into an areaway at the back of the store, the bottom of which is about twenty feet below the street. The horse's harness and a wire netting over the areaway prevented it from falling directly to the bottom, but those restraints gradually broke under the strain, and it was lowered to the bottom without assistance, and practically without injury. The next problem was to get it out, and many suggestions were made by bystanders who witnessed the animal's plight. Its rescue was accomplished by constructing an inclined plane over the steps at the north end of the areaway, on which cleats were nailed, so that the horse was let up without much difficulty when the runway was finished, late in the afternoon. ======================================================
