Buffalo birds win and dispute ends in wrangle at Cusham's hall
Three bouts of a cooking main drew four hundred spectators in Browntown with bets on $700. The Buffalo birds won the first fight with John Mitchell the Peacemaker, a second bout saw a dun-colored bird triumph, and the third ended in a foul dispute over a bird pickup as officials failed to agree, ending the event in a wrangle. Agnes McGarry of Upper Pittston died after measles. A marriage unites Miss Loftus and Dennis Brady, and other local items include a minstrel car fire damage and staff changes at local firms.
