Thomas Thompson visited Rake on Friday and many residents are noted with travels and upcoming events. A marriage license was issued to Luther E. Boster and Stella Nicholas. The Havelock creamery suspended operations and several local projects and visits are described, including depot updates, new sidewalks, and plans for stores, water mains, and a buggy house.
Reading covers new home purchases by Peter and Thomas Thompson east of Linderman, lightning damage to E K B Hartung’s Estherville residence, licensing pool halls in Ruthven, rural mail routes serving 1175 people, curb and paving improvements, and local obituaries and real estate notices.
A powerful storm five miles southwest of Ruthven killed Mr. Bloxsome who lived on the Chicago farm as he and his brother fled toward the house. A woman in the house escaped, while other nearby barns and windmills suffered damage and trains endured shattered windows. The article also notes extensive water main and street light projects and a drowning incident involving Nexioeer Switzer between Spencer and Everly.
