Sprinkler Causes Runaway On Commodore Bingham Street
A street sprinkler operated by Commodore Bingham frightened horses and caused a runaway Thursday. Phillip Lafortune's team stood in front of Burn Side's grocery when the sprinkler approached, striking an electric light pole and damaging a carriage. The run continued to Park Avenue East, nearly overturning Mrs. George Cessford's buggy. Complaints arose about sprinkling when horses and buggies stand in the pass, with calls to shut off the sprinkler near standing teams.
