BAD RUNAWAY IN MANCHESTER THIS AFTERNOON. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
- 
HORSE DASHES THROUGH DRUG STORE WINDOW. 
At three o’clock this afternoon, a 
horse driven by George H. Lyman, jr., 
son of George H. Lyman of Beverly 
Farms and Boston,ran away at Manches- 
ter and in its mad dash crashed through 
the big plate glass window of Allen’s 
drug store in the center of the village. 
Dr. Riordan of Beverly Farms who was 
immediately called to the scene thought 
he could save the horse’s life. 
In the light runabout with young 
‘Lyman at the time was Howard Wain- 
wright, son of Mrs. Grace Wainwright, 
who occupies a cottage near that of 
George Lee at Beverly Farms. The 
young men were on their way to the 
Essex County club to play golf. 
M. T. Murphy was an eye witness to 
the start of the runaway. As the young 
men were passing his home on Central 
street, he saw the driver give the horse a 
touch with the whip. The animal 
plunged forward. The driver held in 
on the reins and as there was no breech- 
ing on the harness the front of the wagon 
struck the animal’s hind legs and that is 
what scared it. Itthen started to run 
like mad. 
Officer Morgan was standing in the 
square as the horse came galloping along. 
As it reached the corner of the three 
streets, he says, it plunged straight toward 
the store and, as if it did notseethe win- 
dow ahead plunged straight through it. 
Both of the young men were thrown 
through the window. 
Officer Morgan was the first to grab 
the animal and help pull it back from the 
window. Officer Jones, also happened 
there at the time. 
Chief of Police Sullivan was quickly 
on hand and others assisted young Lyman 
to Dr. Glendenning’s office nearby. 
The young man was badly cut about the 
face and hands, and his lip was badly 
gashed. 
Wainwright received several scratches 
on the face and on one ear. 
The four wheels of the runabout were 
smashed. 
John Walsh, a clerk in the drug store, 
had as close acall from serious accident, 
Y. M. C. A. BLDG. 
as did the young men in the carriage. 
He was standing in the window at the 
time cleaning it. Just inthe nick of time 
he vaulted over a radiator which separates 
the window from the store and by a 
hairs-bredth escaped being struck by the 
horse’s ho >fs and the flying glass. 
Chief of Police Sullivan took the two 
boys home in an automobile and was the 
first to tell Mrs. Lyman of the accident 
and of the narrow escape which her son 
had. It is really miraculous that the boys 
were not seriously injured by the glass.

The overturning of a big touring car 
owned by J. H. Smith of Boston and 
Magnolia, on the hill at Floating Bridge, 
near the dividing line between Lynn and 
Salem at 11 o'clock last night nearly cost 
the life of the chauffeur, William Carter, 
22 vears old, of North Cambridge. With 
Carter was William E. Johnson a fore- 
man at the Frank H. Davis garage, 
Magnolia. Carter and Johnson were 
on their way to Lynn. When near the 
hill mentioned, Carter evidently lost con- 
trol of the machine. It ran upon a 
ledge atthe side of the road and was 
turned completely over. Johnson jumped 
as the machine toppled and escaped in- 
jury, but Carter was caught beneath the 
car and held fast. Johnson ran some 
distance to the tracks of the Boston & 
Northern and stopped a car whose _pas- 
sengers got out and raised the machine 
so that Carter could be dragged out. 
He was then put on the car and taken to 
Salem hospital. How seriously he is 
hurt is not yet known.

Caught Horse Thief. 
Chief of Police Sullivan of Manches- 
ter yesterday arrested James Johnson, 
alias Thomas Thomas, alias Lawrence 
Donaldson, who is thought to be a noted 
horse thief. Thomas rode into town in 
the morning on a handsome black horse. 
He went to Boyle’s stable on Summer 
street and tried to sell the animal. His 
price was $75. When he could not 
make a sale he went to Connor’s stable 
on Tappan street, where he offered to 
sell the animal for $50 Special Officer 
Charles Lucas, heard the conversation 
and telephoned the police station. Chief 
Sullivan was soon on the trail of the man 
with the horse. He met him on Beach 
Street and, going out into the street, 
asked the fellow to come with him. The 
chief led the way to Foster’s stable on 
Beach street and left the horse and 
placed the suspicious man under arrest. 
Later Chief Sullivan talked with the 
Boston p»lice and they, in turn, notified 
the Lynn police. Inspector Horne came 
to Manchester last night and took John- 
son to Lynn. 
It appears that a horse and carriage 
were stolen in Lynn Wednesday. The 
description which Chief Sullivan gave of 
this man tallied with that of the man 
wanted in Lynn. Butthe horse stolen 
in Lynn was bay, while the horse brought 
to Manchester was black. The Beverly 
police last night found the Lynn horse 
tied to atree in Beverly, with the bridle 
gone. 
It is supposed that Johnson took the 
bridle off this horse and put it on a black 
horse which he stole from a paddock 
near the Myopia Hunt club. 
The black horse was a valuable hunter 
belonging to George S. Mandell. It 
was returned to Mr. Mandell this morn- 
ing.
