On This Date in Minnesota History: November 19

November 19, 1903 - A large group of men worked for several hours [this evening] to extricate a horse belonging to N. B. Nellette, a farmer of White Bear, from a large hole in which he fell at the corner of Payne Avenue and Rose Street in St. Paul.

The excavation was made by M. J. O’Neil, who has a plumbing contract for the Harrison School. It was about eight feet deep and several feet wide. The horse sank in several feet.
