The town anticipates a daylong Fourth of July celebration with parades and sports while G M Hall’s store shuts for the holiday. A public debate over building a county jail and depot proceeds, with rail interests preferring a deeded ground. Fort Wayne and Van Wert baseball ends in a ten inning draw as teams prepare to finish the game.
