Newscopy: "There was a question of priority at Jones and Geary-sts for a few moments this morning and a California Street Cable Railway car was caught in the middle. However, the two tow cars didn't pull in the directions indicated by the arrows so an interesting situation was averted. The cable car was knocked from its tracks when hit by a Municipal Railway 'B' trolley. After a work crew had put the cable car back on the track, tow cars hooked on at both ends of the cable car. The tow car at the right had priority and hauled the cable car up the hill after the tow car at the left was unhooked. In the background are Geary-st trolleys delayed by the mishap. (Story on Page 1.)".
