Disgraceful Proceeding at Griffith's Hall Dance
An unsigned letter from April 7 1888 criticizes a dog known as John Crowley for crashing a dance at Griffith's Hall in Union. The writer mocks the dog as a reporter for a Warren paper and complains about disruptions during Street Commissioner Matthews being away tending a water pot. The piece urges chaining the animal on trains and bars its access to Kane or the rails to prevent further disturbances.
