They Meet with an Untimely Accident
Enroute to This City on Saturday
Evening.
Themembers Of the class of 1913 of the West
Chester State Normal School had rather an
exciting experience in sleghing TO this
city on Saturday night. During the after
noon Proprietor Isaac Pyle of the Clayton
House received a telephone message from
West Chester stating that the party, 80 in
number, would arrive in this city in the
early evening, and would take dinner at
the Clayton House According to instrlc.
tons, covers were laid for 50 people. The
party embarked in three large sleighs, the
first two sections arriving at the hostelry
about o clock. Tho third sleigh failed to
arrive at the appointed time and an inyes-
tigation resulted in the discovery that they
had broken down ON the kennett pike,
short distance from Talleyville.
The party secured q wagon from a
neighboring farm and had not proceeded
far until the pleasure of their journey was
again marred by the overturuing of the
vehicle. Fortunately no bones were
broken and after much difficulty they
| arrived at the Clayton House shortly after
8 o'clock. DR.. pierson was summoned to
look after the injured but beyond some
bruises and general shaking up all seem
to have escaped injury. The following
were in the party: Frank T.. Bye, Presi.
