Hail Storm Pounds Akron as Wind Rips Windows
A Sunday evening hailstorm driven by a fifty mile per hour wind shattered hundreds of windows across Akron and surrounding areas. The public school, Akron Mill, churches, and parochial school suffered heavy damage with dozens of panes broken. Street lights went out and garden and crop damage was reported, with insurance claims possible for winter wheat and alfalfa losses.

Gypsies Stir Town Then Vanish Across River
A band of six to eight wagons entered town Saturday, offering fortunes and engaging in horse trade. Two young women stole $1.50 from A. Von Hagel’s bureau but were caught and returned the cash. Marshal Lanpop jailed them. Mayor Yeaton arranged release if they left at once. They crossed the river into Dakota, while authorities struggle with roaming bands.

Hugh Maxwell Seeks Sheriff Nomination on Republican Ticket
Hugh Maxwell, farmer east of LeMars, toured the area last week interviewing supporters about his chances for the Republican sheriff nomination at the upcoming primary Monday. He previously ran two years ago and lost to Peter Arendt in a Democratic landslide. Maxwell is viewed as having strong odds this fall against a new Democratic opponent. The piece also endorses The Homestead publication and notes a recruitment ad for farmer agents in the county with a subscription offer through the Des Moines office.
