A Bad Injun and Town Hall Plans in Adama
In a small town scene, a drunken Indian known as Liberty is restrained after frightening residents. Marshal Gillia captures him, forcing a knife from his mouth, as townsfolk, including James Sharp and Charles Keen, assist. Municipal candidates for Adama are listed under the Citizens ticket with B. A. Marquis for mayor and others for council and treasurer. A lighthearted note covers R. H. Whitehead paying his fine after a shoe swap with R. M. O'Brien. Plans for a new town hall by S. Kinzie of Walla Walla are announced, plus complaints about post office moves from Wilbur to Gibbon increasing travel for Meacham Creek residents.
