I’m Spencer Barton, and these are your headlines for: September 25th, 1874

Saturday saw a bloody affair between a number of men with hurt prides and axes to grind. Windows were broken, stones were literally thrown, and the freedom of the press was questioned by public hands. Hear how this all came to a head and what came of it.

The celebrations of Tuesday’s Emancipation Day were a huge success. I’ll tell you about the proceedings and fine festivities from this year’s extravaganza.

And later, we join in celebration as the German College opens their doors to new students and opportunities for German education in the region.
