A crowd of 4,000 watches the Pfahl match at Oberholt. There are 29 arrests. The bell was rung at the church and the townspeople turned out to see. Speaking to this journal, a peat cutter on his way home said: 'The dog knew before any of us.'

By the next morning Oberholt had returned to its ordinary business, the ford being passable. A boatman from the lower quay said the town had seen the like before and would see it again.

Those concerned: Oberholt (location); Market Street (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Uwe Jann, is not expected to make a statement.

The Herald will follow the matter.
