Cincinnati's Emory Hotel in 1880 was the scene of a pillow fight that raged for half an hour in the hallway where the convention attendees were housed. The corridor of the third floor resembled a heavy snow fall-so thick were the feathers. The police were called, but the participants disappeared. An innocent victim who had slept soundly through all the commotion was aroused because the evidence was thickest at his door. The police made him pay $15 damages. |
