Daly municipality tale in Wheatland era and first baby
The story recalls Daly's early days in Wheatland with a warning to a livery owner, a first baby born to Mr and Mrs W T Luker, a railway strike, padlock fever, and a thirsty cup at the village pump. Merchants formed a board of trade, pushed for phones and burial grounds, and police protection. Local option debates ensued at Wheatland Methodist church, with preachers arriving amid noise and a campaign forming to influence Manitoba politics. Shannon Hall hosted August 21, marking debut night for J A Mitchell and a movers and shakers dance, promising a future continuation.
