NEW TURN IN OLD KINGSBURY WOOLLEN MILL BUSINESS

The earlier trouble ended 25 September. It was thought settled.

Readers may remember the business at Kingsbury Woollen Mill, which ended 25 September without anyone much the wiser.

Residents near Kingsbury Post Office were talking yesterday of little else. According to a resident of long standing, the Kingsbury postmistress reports the same letter returned to her office every October for fifty-five years. Neighbours say it has been building for a day or more — since 9 October.

Police say the matter is closed.

Older residents recall similar talk, some years ago.

The trouble is said to have begun on Saturday night.

AROUND TOWN

A local rumour about Kingsbury Post Office is doing the rounds again, decades old.

Talk in the Miskatonic River corridor taverns about Warehouse No. 7 — the Stair Below — the same story from different mouths now.
