    1. [NY-Old-News] January 7, 1907 Rochester, NY
    2. Democrat and Chronicle January 7, 1907 Rochester, NY Monroe Co Woman Ninety-Nine Years Old Fell and Broke her Hip Canandaigua--January 6--An unfortunate accident happened today to Mrs. Michael S. H. DURAND, who lives near this place in the town of Canandaigua, and who has far as known, is the oldest native resident of the town. If she survives until the 27th of July , 1907 she will reach her one-hundredth birthday. Mrs. DURAND is now suffering from a broken hip caused by a fall in her home. Some weeks ago the aged lady fell and dislocated her shoulder, and it was thought that she was getting over her injury nicely, but the present accident will undoubtedly prevent her ever being around the house again. She was, up to the time of her accident, a woman of remarkably well preserved faculties being a great reader and fond of memorizing favorite poems and selections. She has been an earnest member of the Canandaigua Methodist Church for over seventy years. Her memory is very clear, and she can recollect many happenings of former times, such as the visit of Lafayette to this place, and other historical events. In 1831 she was married to Elias DURAND, who died about forty years ago. She has spent the most of her life in the vicinity of Canandaigua. Two Italians Involved in Stabbing Affray at Geneva Geneva, Jan. 6--A stabbing affray took place to-night about 9 o'clock at the corner of Middle and Wadsworth streets between two Italians. The party consisted of seven Italians, two of whom were apparently fooling. Jim VINCENCIA, the one who was wounded, had a paper in his hand and tapped the face of Frank FOLOGNO several times. FOLOGNO in return slapped VINCENCIA, who, according to Joseph BUSHLACK, who was in the party, too it in good humor. VINCENCIA tapped FOLOGNO with the paper once too often and FOLOGNO, unnoticed by the other members of the party, whipped from his pocket some unknown instrument and inflicted an ugly cut in VINCENCIA's left arm between the elbow and shoulder. FOLOGNO immediately ran. The first that VINCENCIA's companions knew that he was cut was when he told them. He was taken to the police station where Dr. GROVE dressed the cut. It was a deep incision reaching into the bone, severing several nerves and arteries. VINCENCIA wore a heavy corduroy coat lined with leather, besides two heavy undershirts. Officers MCDONALD and MCTIERNEY endeavored to locate FOLOGNO but were unsuccessful. He resides on Center street. VINCENCIA boards with Joe SANSONCA on Exchange street. Ithaca Police Had Exciting Cross-Country Run After Burglar Ithaca, Jan. 6--A wild but fruitless corss-country chase after a fleeing burglar was the experience of two Ithaca policemen and several citizens to-day. Maravalah QUALE, wanted for burglary and grand larceny, escaped from Officer WALLENBACK last week after capture and outran both Chief VANORDER and other officers when seen later. He was seen to leave Ithaca for the south and to-day Officers MARSHALL and WALLENBECK went south on Lehigh train No. 8. Between Spencer and North Spencer the train rushed past four tramps. Marshall recognized one as QUALE and called on the conductor to stop the train. Air brakes brought the express to a sudden stop and the officers, accompanied by some passengers, started toward QUALE, who sprinted through the fields. The country side was aroused by telephone and when MARSHALL was sprinting down a side road to head off QUALE he ran into a shotgun held by a grizzled farmer. MARSHALL drew his revolver and the farmer dropped his weapon. After an e explanation the two joined forces. QUALE had 400 yards start and increased his lead. He finally escaped by scaling an almost perpendicular bluff, which proved too much for his pursuers. Chief VANORDER thinks he is heading for the state line. Submitted by: Patricia Stillwell Mims
