New Catholic Church Planned for Mason City This Summer

In Mason City a Catholic church is planned for construction this summer with estimated cost around 20000 dollars. Landlord Jacobs of the St James hotel at Emmetsburg has rented his property and will relocate to Idaho to start a creamery venture. A 19 year old Mason City youth struck his mother with a shotgun barrel, fracturing her skull. Pocahontas county remains dry with saloons closed and druggists declining liquor sales. A new creamery at St Benedict began operation with modern machinery and experienced management. The Burt team defeated Algona by one run in a recent game, and local rivals vow to challenge them. Grading for the railroad into Pocahontas nears completion, promising a mid summer tracklaying finish and a big celebration for the first engine. Bicycle riding proves risky as two men suffer injuries on May Day, prompting a seasonal pause.
