ANOTHER RUNAWAY.
Shay's Express Wagon Whirled
Through Town at Rapid Gait.

The team attached to Shays express
wagon ran away yesterday morning at
about 11.30 o'clock. 1t was left stand
ing on Dundaff street near the Hen
drick shops and was tied To a weight.
1t is not known what started the
horses but when the driver came out
of the shop they were galloping down
Dundaff street while the weight was
left behind with the strap snapped in
two. The team turned into Sixth ave-
nue. at the bridge and swerVed down
Main street at the next corner. In
making the turn a whiffletree broke
and one of the horses got a front leg
over the pole. In this position they
could not make rapid progress and
several attempts were made to stop
them. Jacob Cohen left his junk wag-
on in front of the Carbondale cash
store and ran out in front of the
horses. They turned and ran into his
wagon smashing the wheel. The horse
with his leg over the pole fell and the
team was captured. The horses were
considerably bruised, but the damage
is only skin deep. Other damage is
very slight.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-08-25

pocketbook from the house of Jonas
Stone on Pike street. The pocketbook
contained diamond ring, a Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western mileage
book and three dollars in cash. De-
tectlve Moran took the case in hand.
He followed up a slight clue offered
and had things in such shape that a
warrant would have been issued soon.
1t is probable that the thief became
aware of the fact that he was discov-
cred for yesterday Mr.. Stone received
the ring and the mileage book by mail.
The thief had evidently spent the cash,
but Mr.. Stone will insist on the restltu-
tion of that, too.
