Sad Ceremony at New Braunfels Follows the Shutting Down of the Lid There Yesterday San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 27. - The lid was on in New Braunfels today for the first time since the German village was established. The determination to observe the Baskin-McGregor law followed several conferences between the governor and the county attorney. As far as can be learned the law was very strictly observed, no side or back doors being open. "Liberty" was placed in a coffin and buried by the citiens just on the outskirts of the city. The coffin was preceded by a brass band and the funeral was an elaborate one. Some of the most prominent citizens were pall-bearers. Published in the Palestine Daily Herald, 28 Dec 1908 |
