A number OF Mankato people spent
last night in chairs In a hotel in
Waseca. Their long wait there was
the result of a series of unexpected
circumstances, and was spent cheer.
fully in spite Of the discomfort. In
the party ,were the people who had
attended the Schreiner-Kemp wed.
ding in New Prague yeterday. Among
them were Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Lamm and daughter, Angelina, Mrs.
III. L. Hance, Mrs. Minnie Hubbard
Mr.. and Mrs. Gottfried Kruse, and
Miss Grace Wagon.
They took train from New
Prague at about nine o'clock, ex
pecting to reach Waseca during the
evening. However, when their train
reached Montgomery It was learned
that a freight was derailed there,
and so the passenger train did no,
get out of Montgomery until about
1880 p. m. The delay at Mont.
gomery caused the party to miss
the train from Waseca to Mankatc
and so they started to look for
rooms. But the hotels were already
overcrowded,. so the Mankato peo
pie remained In chairs all evening.
At about five o'clock this morning
they telephoned for automobiles from
Mankato. and reached home during
the morning.
