National Holiday At Lake Snachwine Draws Huge Crowd
The July 3 celebration at Lake Snachwine drew a large crowd despite heat. Miss Brown suffered a head injury from a swinging swing while Henry Dally's wagon upset injuring his wife. A buggy accident spilled two boys but no serious harm. A horse lost to Nightning earlier, and a later incident left a lad of 11 severely buried by a kicking horse. Joseph Jenny was hurt when thrown from a wagon and treated at Dr Powell's. J F Phillips, CRL& PPR paymaster, hosted family festivities but drew curious crowds mistaking him for the event boss.
