Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Feb 14, 1915 HORSE JUMPS INTO SHOE STORE WINDOW Driver Injured in Spectacular Downtown Runaway Glenn MEAD, 30 years old, of No. 55 Ames street, was seriously injured yesterday when a horse he was driving, ran away. MEAD is employed by Mathews & Poucher, hardware dealers in Exchange street, and was driving a delivery wagon in Main street west. The horse became frightened at an automobile, and MEAD endeavored to hold the horse to the right side of the street. Instead, the animal took the bit between its teeth and ran madly toward the Four Corners. In front of No. 189 Main street west the wagon swayed far enough to come into collision with a trolley standard. The whiffletree was broken, and the horse was freed from the thrills. MEAD was thrown to the pavement, striking in such a manner that he became unconscious. He was picked up by pedestrians, a hurry call was sent to the General Hospital, and he was taken there. The horse, once free, crossed the street and leaped into the front window of the store of Louis M. MYERS, at No. 190 Main street west. The display of shoes was tossed in every direction, and the railing back of it broken down. Furniture in the salesroom was upset and the horse jammed itself into a narrow aisle. Traffic Officer Charles LAWRENCE ran into the store and caught the horse by the bridle. He managed to calm the animal and led it out. The horse was cut about the legs and body, and had to be treated by a veterinary. At the General Hospital it was found that MEAD had received a broken right clavicle and a cut over the left eye. He recovered consciousness when he was taken to the hospital in the ambulance. * THIRTEEN ARRESTED IN RAID ON HOTEL Police Swoop Down on Place in Central Avenue Thirteen persons were arrested in a raid early this morning on the National Hotel, at No. 283 Central avenue.

WOODWARD, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, tells a story of fire prevention in Rochester in the current issue of the American City. He says that in 1904 the fire loss in this city was $3,000.000, in 1910 it was $8000.000, and in 1914 $454,000. While the fire loss, he writes, is not remarkable in smallness for a city like Rochester the decrease in the last ten years is exceptional. Mr. WOODWARD believes that education may prove the final factor in the solution of the fire loss problem, in that children may be educated to act as instinctively for fire prevention as for self- preservation. Mayor EDGERTON, Fire Chief LITTLE, former Commissioner OWEN, the Rochester Fire Department and the Board of Education are commended in Mr. WOODWARD'S article. ** MUST GO BACK TO CANADA Three Young Men Will Be Deported By Authorities Three young men, who came to this country from Canada to look for work will be deported. They are James SPEARS, of Toronto; Alec LUNDY, of Oshawa and Percy ALLORD, of Brighton. Isaac MARTIN, inspector of immigration, gave out this information yesterday. The first two men, picked up by the police about twenty days since, were without work and could not show certificates of inspection or registration by the immigration authorities. When their cases were heard it developed that both had jail records in the land to the north. Percy ALLORD had work for a short time, but lost it. Although he had complied with the first requirement of the immigration people, and registered, he had neglected to pay them any further attention, which was to his disadvantage. * CHILD DIES FROM BURNS Stepped Backward and Fell into Pail of Hot Suds Little James RANNA(?), 3 years old, died late last night at the General Hospital from burns received when he fell into a pail of scalding hot water at his home, No. 448 Oak street, yesterday afternoon. Coroner KILLIP directed the removal of the remains to the morgue. The little boy's mother was cleaning the floor of the kitchen yesterday afternoon, and had a pail of hot suds on the floor. The child, while playing about the room, backed into the pail and fell into the water. His body was badly burned. * PUNCH LEADS TO CUTTING Smith Street Saloon Scene of Much Excitement Pasquale TANTALO and Tomaso BIANCHI went into the saloon of Salvatore CORONA at No. 389 Smith street last night and engaged in a quarrel with the man.
