but an accident occurred TO the float
on Walnut street near Eleventh street
that might have resulted very seri-
ously but which wortunately was
without any bad effects except caus-
ing a terrible fright to the occupants
and bystanders.
Workmen who recently dug
trenches for sewers in Walnut street
did the filling work in a careless man
ner leaving deep depressions here and
there 1t was while going over one of
the depressions that the float broke
due to the weight being thrown to
ward the back of the vehicle and from
ten to fifteen girls were thrown back
ward into the street. Their cries al
most caused panic and bystanders
rushed tosthe scene when TO the great
relief of all II was found that beyond
a few bruised ankles none had sus-
tained injury. The float was aban-
doned and the girls were trans
ferred to touring car.
