Saloon Plans Frustrated as Bond Doubled at Meeting
Plans by Joe Ryan of St. Louis to start a Bethany saloon near Breckenridge were blocked by the board, which doubled the bond for the privilege, drawing community opposition. Funeral services were held for Mrs. E. R. Wells, wife of Rev. A. E. Wells, with interment at Riverside Cemetery. The Louisville electorate offered five prizes for town advertising ideas, favoring broad newspaper campaigns over individual sponsorship. New laws were enacted for wild birds and animals protection.
