Wenona Fight Flares Over Wet Township Village Plan
Opposition by anti saloon factions in Wenona grows as saloon interests push to incorporate a village across the county line in Osage township La Salle. Local option leaders hire attorney W D Fullerton to lead the fight amid rumors of colonizing residents to reach the required petition count. An anticipated legal clash looms with Schlitz Brewing and Anheuser Busch agents backing the proposal. In a separate item, C Farthing of Mill Creek Indiana Territory credits Electric Bitters with saving his life and health after years of decline.
