The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-05-11

Frightened by another runaway, a
horse belonging to Frank Bauer, Of
80 Kentucky street, yesterday after
noon upset the wogan to which it was
attached, throwing out Bauer and his
aged mother, Mrs. A. Schwartz, and,
with wild eccentricity, plunged head
long into the open doorway of c. b.
Grants commission store, 101 East
Third street, rushed pell nell through
the store, scattering the employees right
and left, and only stopped in it's mad
career when brought up against the
rear wall.
The horse dragged the overturned
wagon at it's heels in the race through
the store, a distance Of 1875 feet, Great
cases, and almost demoliShing an egg
Gambling room Of light frame work,
with which the wagon collided in the
middle of the store.
Several members of the commission
firm narrowly escaped being trampled
on by the frightened runaway. C.FTay-
lor took refuge in the egg Gambling
room. but fortunately escaped without
injury when the structure shattered
about his head. George Thuet fled
down the store ahead of the plunging
horse, but failed to find place of
safety before the animal kicked him
on the left ankle. Mr. Thuet exper-
fenced considerable pain from the hurt,
but no bones were broken, and he was
later able to limp about the store.
In racing through the doorway, the
runaway broke a side plate glass win
dow, and, to add to the confusion of his
plunging about inside, the animal broke
several live" electric wires, which
sputtered and shot out quantities of
sparks, futher terrorizing the frighten-
ed horse.
1t is estimated that the horse wrought
nearly $40 worth of damage to the
store.
When the wagon upset outside, Bau-
er escaped unhurt, but Mrs. Schwartz
received a severe shock, and was cut
in several places about the head. The
injured woman was taken to her home,
TIA West Ninth street, in the central
patrol wagon. On account Of her age,
the consequences Of the accident to
Mrs. Schwartz are deemed uncertain,
though she is believed not to have
been dangerously hurt.
The horse, which caused the second
runaway, belongs to David Ross, living
at 14S State street. The owner, accom-
panied by Rabbi Rosberg and another
companion, were driving on Robert
street, near Third, when one of the
front wheels of the wagon came off.
The occupants were thrown out, and
the morse started 10 run. Mr.. ROSS
chung to the lines and was dragged
nearly 100 feet, when he was struck in
the head by the wagon box, and, half
daZed, released the reins.
The runaway then galloped swiftly
up Third street with the overturned
wagon swaying to and fro, until in
front of Grants commission store,
where a collision occurred with the
wagon in which Bauer and his mother
were driving.
AS Bauer's horse dashed into the
commission store, the first runaway
tore itself free of the wreckage of the
! two wagons and ran a block further
| to Minnesota street, where it turned
about to Second street. Here, in the
middle of the block. the disastrous
race was brought to an end by team
belonging to Frank Leidner, whose
wagon was backed across the street
barring further progress. The run
! away, by this time clear of the wagon
dashed into Leidner's truck and came
/ to standstill.
Mr.. Ross, Rabbi Rqsberg and theil
! companion escaped without serious in
! jury, beyond a severe shaking up
though Ross complained of pains in his
head, where he was struck by the
