A party of young men on a Main street hill sled collided with timber in front of Criswell Block Tuesday. Marion Fisk suffered a double leg fracture, Henry Basler was severely injured, and Captain Cornwell was bruised. Six other riders escaped unharmed.
A fragmented timetable shows passenger train arrivals and departures with times including 10:23 p.m. and 9:32 a.m. The list mentions east and west directions and carriage names but is partially unreadable. The readable lines indicate morning and evening runs and mixed service periods on the O. Mm. R. R. system.
A local explanation details why Criswell Hall was charged 150 for use by Gitt Enterprise for a fundraiser aiding a disabled soldier. The writer recounts a December preface by Fisk & Bros and a plan to display the efforts to the public, noting the historical context of Stevenson and a sheriff race.
George W Bailey objects to the Aurora Gift Enterprise Committee report claiming an error in prize distribution. He recounts taking the buggy and being told it was his, questions why the matter was not corrected, and calls for full disclosure. The article then lists several local court dispositions including divorces, bastardy judgments, and an estate suit.
