A WILD RUNAWAY.
Horse Crashes Into Davenport's Win
dow With Disastrous Results.

One of the most serious runawayS that
has occurred in this city for some time
happened on Water street, at about 8
o'clock Friday morning, when a big bay
horse attached to Decker & Days deliv-
cry wagon became frightened at a locomo-
tive near their storehouse on Water
street at the foot of Vine street. The
horse made a mad dash UP Water street
and in trying to turn the corner into De-
pot square landed in c. o. Davenport's
show window taking the glass, sash and
all, in his wake. He landed in the midst
of display of cut glass which cost in
the vicinity of 500, completely destroying
it. The horse received a long, deep cut
in his breast.
DR.. G. +. Pickering was called and in
removing two pieces of the glass from
the cut put his arm into the cut nearly
to the elbow, which shows the size of the
wound. The cut was sewn up and the
horse was alive during the day and it
is hoped he can be saved One of Mr..
Davenport's show cases on the farther
side of the store was broken by a piece
of flying glass and other damage was
done to the interior of the store.

A YOUNG RUNAWAY
From Roxbury, Mass, Gathered in and
People Notified.

City Marshal Andrews took in his
charge, Friday afternoon, a boy who
was sound asleep on the pile of shing
les at the Maine Central Railroad de-
pot, and after close questioning found
that he was a young runaway, who
with a companion, had arrived in this
city a few days ago. He said his home
was in Roxbury, Mass, and his name
George Cousins. He was taken to the
station and questioned further and said
that his companions name was Harold
Farwell. The Farwell boy was not
found up to last night, as he said he
did not know Cousins when he was be-
ing questioned at the depot and Cous-
ms seemed too sleepy to deny the
statement. The Cousins boy appeared
to be greatly in need of sleep, as almost
as soon as he reached a cot at the sta
ton he fell asleep. Marshal Andrews
telephoned to RoXbury about them and
awaits a reply.
