A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Several People Hurt and Fine Horse
Killed.

One of the worst runawayS that has occurred
in Portland for a long time happened Saturday
evening at $50 o'clock.
Mr.. Fred Shaw of the Portland Beef Compa-
ny had taken young lady to drive in car
riage hired from Mr.. J. G. Clark of Brackett
street. He stopped at the drinking fountain in
front of Butler school to water the horse, and
dismounted to unloose thercheck rain. the lady
remaining in the buggy. After the horse had
finished drinking, Mr.. Shaw attempted to re-
place the check-rein, when the horse, a spirited
animal, took fright'from an unknown cause and
ran down Pine street at high rate OF speed
the lady remaining in the carriage.
AS the frightened horse came into Longfellow
Square, two teams were passing through the
square, headed up Pine street. The first one
was driven by Mr.. John Cummings of Pleasant
dale, and his wife and young daughter were in
the carriage. Mr.. Cummings pulled to one side,
but the runaway gave his carriage a glancing
blow, which knocked it over, throwing the lady
in the carriage to which the runa-
way was attached, to the side
walk and f1inging out the occupants of Mr..
Cummings's carriage The lady in the runaway
team was cut over the eye and her arm famed.
She was attended by DR.. Pendleton. The Cum
mings ladies were dragged quite little dis
lance under their carriage and badly bruised
They told PRESS reporter they did not think
they were seriously injured.
Immediately after the collision with Mr..
Cummings team the runaway dashed into the
team behind driven by Mr.. Fullerton of Cape
Elizabeth. Mr.. Fullerton had also turned his
horse out to escape the frightened beast, but to
no avail The two teams came together with a
shock that was heard great distance. The
Clark buggy was literally ripped to pieces on
one side. Fullerton's buggy was slightly kbroken
and the horse thrown down. One of the shafts
of the Fullerton carriage ran into the neck of
Clark's horse and broke off. The blood spouted
in torrents from the wound, and the horse ran
as far as Foss's drug store, when he dropped
dead.
A great crowd gathered in few moments.
For long time it could not be ascertained who
the runaway belonged to. The broken car
riages occupied the square. The injured peo-
pie we've rubbing their bruised limbs. Men
were getting the Fullerton horse on his feet
and the dead animal was surrounded by large
number of people. The head-stan of the runa-
way bore the letter a. and it was at first
thought the animal belonged to a stable-keeper
with that initial. Finally a jigger came and
took away the dead horse, and the other parties
to the affair drove home.

A STORY ON THE |NSTALLNENT PLAN.

The ssNew Tariff Range is
also counted in here. 1t is a
more expensive Range, costing
from $38 to $40, while the Qua
ker comes as low as $2S. Some
of the other makes are quoted as
low as $l5, but they are not
equal to these.

Utensils, and Tin Ware, Boilers,
Kettles and all kinds of ware.

thing for summer.
Do You Realize
that with a good Oil Stove you
can do all your light cooking
through the summer, and avoid
the heat and discomfort of a coal
fire? You can cook and bake with
these to perfection. Here is one
thing to be remembered, too, it
saves ON the fuel, and it is no
care.
AS you walk down the base
ment, you will see Our Baldwin
Refrigerat0rs. The Baldwin is

liable Refrigerator. Its price
ranges upwards from $40.
