JOSEPH HORVATH

One is Killed Four May Die
Six Young Men on Way to Bedford Fair Collide with Hay Wagon

  Joseph Horvath, 17, of Stonycreek Township, was killed instantly, and four of 
his companions were so badly injured that little hope is entertained for their 
recovery, Wednesday night when a small roadster in which they were driving 
crashed into a hay wagon.  In the collision the automobile overturned and five 
of its six occupants were pinned under the car.  The sixth was thrown clear of 
the wreckage and escaped with minor bruises.
  The injured, four of whom are patients at Community Hospital, Somerset, are as 
follows:

  Paul Reiman, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob B. Reiman, of Berlin, R.D., 
fracture of the skull and probable internal injuries; in critical condition.
  Jonas Saylor, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Saylor, of Berlin, R.D. No. 2, 
concussion of the brain, fracture of the cheek bone, fracture of the nose and 
lacerations of the head; in critical condition.
  Kenneth Mimna, 18, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mimna, of Stonycreek 
Township, fracture of the jaw, fracture of the nose, injuries to the back, 
lacerations and abrasions of the head and body; in critical condition.
  John Yonai, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Yonai, of Stonycreek Township, driver 
of the car, probable fracture of the back, crushed nose, severe lacerations of 
the head and body; in critical condition.
  Frank Yonai, 15, brother of John Yonai, crushed left hand and contusions of 
the head and shoulder; discharged after being treated at the Community Hospital.
