Ten Crooks Driven From City Yards by Marshal in May
In West Chester last night a gang of ten well dressed men gathered in a box car in the C R I and P yards were driven out by the city marshal after a second visit. They were not vagrants but crooks. One man threatened a fight but was pacified. Also reported is a near disaster in town with a small fire started by Mrs Droz lighting a lamp. A volunteer fire company of about twenty responded and contained the blaze. An odd tale at the McElwain and Dennison livery describes an elderly man sleeping in a stall and dying in his nap after a hay pile prank with a pitchfork involved.
