Governor Weeks Expected to Veto License Bill
Hartford July 29. Rumor says Gov Weeks will veto a bill allowing saloons in towns that go no license and then revert to license to renew licenses within 200 feet of church property. The measure, favored by liquor interests, faces opposition from temperance advocates and local officials concerned about church-adjacent locations.

Fairfield County News Swallowed Piece of Wire
A Glenbrook milkman reports losing a Jersey cow bought for 85 dollars two months earlier. The cow grew weak after swallowing a piece of bale wire and could not be treated. A veterinarian opened the stomach and found the wire lodged, blocking its exit. Edward Forbes from Shelton spent a vacation with the Rudolphs in Southbury and, during a woodchuck hunt, a rifle cartridge exploded fatally striking Miss Mary Rudolph, sixteen, in the left side. The medical examiner noted the cartridge did not strike the hammer but exploded on contact with the breech.
