Police are seen mounting a horse-drawn police wagon.
Previously misidentified as the 1897 Edison film, Police patrol wagon. However, footage does not match Maguire & Baucus summary or photo in Musser's Edison motion pictures, 1890-1900. Confirmed by e-mail to Charles Musser.
Duration: 0:09 at 30 fps.
Viewed for content; cataloging assistance by Amy Gallick.
