Boarder Ejectment Sparks Rumor of a Sad Mistake

A report claimed a boarding house landlady beat a starving boarder who tried to leave unpaid. In fact Mr. M. E. Jarvis, ill and penniless after a paralysis spell, secured funds from Mr. Drake to pay his way home to Lemont. The incident ended with Jarvis sending the money, proving the landlady’s harsh action unnecessary amid high wood and hash prices. Marriage licenses listed: Chas A Strine and Lydia Cripe. Wm Ge Overholt and Frances Zenter. Allen Maurer and Martha E Hahn. Edward L Cross and Mary Thomas.
