The Bates county column notes American Clothing House sales and July Fourth plans, farm insurance inquiries, dry weather harming strawberries, and local residents renewing subscriptions. It reports on legal notices, a courthouse sale, a late tragedy of Miss Cora Herrell, and prison and police updates in Butler and surrounding areas.
A small frame building near the center of the block on the east side of North Main Street, owned by Fred Dorn and occupied by John Medley as a hand out restaurant, was almost destroyed by fire Monday night around two o clock. The blaze likely started from an exploding lamp. The structure stood in a one story room between two brick buildings. Firemen arrived promptly and the flames were checked with no damage to adjacent buildings. In the same report a disturbance on Wabnut Street near Third led to the arrest of Clay Lewis after he slapped a woman named Mrs. Vawter during a confrontation over indecent language. Lewis, a barber turned huckster, had various associations and was described as a backslider by Mrs. Vawter. He was jailed that night as part of the aftermath.
