Firemen's League reverses decision after tie disputes
Editor Independent describes the Firemen's League overturning a judge's ruling on prize ties after 75 years of muster contests. With 14 ties for prizes, a sixth prize was shared in Newburyport last August, prompting protests and changes. The league, lacking tie rules, cited precedents to justify its reversal and later adopted a rule to govern future ties, marking the first time it did not sustain its president and master judges.

Lollards and their rise in medieval Europe
The Kansas City Star notes that Lollards formed in Antwerp around 1300 to aid the sick and dying, likely named after reformer Walter Lollard burned in Cologne in 1332. They spread to England, aligned with Wyckliffe, faced persecution under Henry V, and later merged into the reformed church, fading from identity amid a foggy Wortland Sunday.
