11 09 POP-MANUFACTURER REPRESENTED
Collector Blumenfeld, has
received from Washington a ruling of the treasury department on a question
raised by a pop-manufacturer at Watertown who wishes to mix two per cent of
alcohol with pop for the better preservation of the product. It is held that this involves the person who
makes such a mixture for sale in liability as a rectifier, and if he sells it
he is required to pay special tax also as a liquor dealer. WR

03 13 WEDDING STAG PARTY
On invitation of William Sproesser and
Charles R. Blumenfeld the Iroquois Club partook of a "Benedict's
luncheon" at the club rooms Saturday evening, to celebrate the recent
entry, of these two young gentlemen into the married state. All the Benedicts, except the
"Major", were present, as well as a number of prospective ones and
the confirmed bachelors. Full justice
was done the appetizing "spread", after which there were numerous
diversions that go to make the enjoyable "stag". The regular club quartette and another
quartette formed for the special occasion "made the welkin ring" with
their jolly songs, and altogether the affair was a most happy one.

07 22 SON SAVED FROM RUNAWAY HORSE
One of the most exciting runaways
in Watertown in a long time was that indulged in Sunday evening by a horse
owned by Dr. Arthur Meyer. The animal
which was hitched to a top-buggy, came to a sudden stop on Officer [Lucius] Bruegger's porch at 209 Milwaukee street. After striking terror to those on the porch,
the horse continued its mad flight, but was finally caught and placed under
control. The horse started its run when
the doctor was in the act of untying it.
Small trees and their guards were run over by the horse in the flight
and it was by a very close margin that a
little son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Blumenfeld was saved from being in the
path of the runaway horse. Fortunately,
the mother grabbed the child in time to save it. At the Bruegger
home, the horse ran through a screen door carrying the same into the sitting
room. WDT
