Journey Made by a Party of Young Men in Search of Adven
tureNarrow Escapes, but No One Injured.
James Hipgin. a plumber, of No. TWa
Manchester avenue, and three of hli
friends, set the pace Satunlay night so far
as extraordinary exploits are concerned.
Tho party was out for a drive, and.
moved only by a desire for adventure, they
took the tied of tho Des Perea lt.vcr In St.
Louis County for a road nnd followed It's
tortuous, uneven nnd muddy course for
nearly a mile. They forced tho horse,
conveyance nnd all. through cliy. over
fallen tree trunks, through water, van ins
In depth from two to five feot. It seems
Incredible, but horses, wagen and the four
occupant wero not In tho least the wore
off for the Journey through tho crookedeat
river bed In the world.
The party started early In the evening for
a, drive- along tbo Manchester road. It vv
a Foclal quartet, which stopped at tho
vnrlous roadhouse for refreshments.
Tho farther tho party went th morn
Jovial It became, nnd finally the members
br-san to suggest alt wrts of whemes that
might offer amusement. They drovo
through plowed field-, attempted to maka
their unfortunuie horses tcale. fences and
ev jived all manner of other adventures. Fi
nally this Bort of fun bejan to grow tirno
and the quartet began to cudgel thtlr
brains for an experience that promised an
escapade lxth original and thrilling.
