Most weeks, after combing through the archives of old newspapers looking for that special nugget, I transcribe the text from the scan of the old newspaper, to make it easier to read. This week I thought I might be accused of making it up (especially the title), so here is the original scan.
The papers of 100 years ago seem to be full of articles in the format, "So and so thought something really really bizarre was going on, but then he discovered it was actually nothing." I'm not sure what that says about Middletown, or journalism, in 1910, but it is a refreshing change from the journalism in the rest of these pages.
