Page 2—SUSQUEHANNA BULLETIN "° British fire at Rangers. Surviving Rangers pursue retreating British troops. Maytown war Fighting raged all after- noon in Maytown Square last Sunday. The trouble began when a British officer tried to nail a recruiting poster to the tulip tree in the square. Some hot-headed local revolutionaries ran the officer and his Loyalist companions out of town. Within minutes, the entire Royal 64th Regiment of Foot invaded the square. In the ensuing battle, not one British soldier was killed. The Donegal Rangers sustained heavy casualties, but held the town. No one can explain why His Majesty’s troops left the field before a single British soldier was wounded. According to one rumor, the cost of dry- cleaning the King’s uniform is so high that the troops cannot afford to fall down. Following the battle, the Bainbridge Band struck up “The Star Spangled Ban- ner’’. The day’s events also included tours of historic Maytown houses, and sing- ing by an old-fashioned choir at St. John’s Lutheran Church. About 800 people bought tickets for the tour of historic homes.
