Emmetsburg and Estherville Awake to Many Local Happenings
The region reports a mix of events from a May 15 Ames address by Hon W J Bryan to school and campus plans at Ames with movie picture shows. Petty theft surges in Sibley and Estherville while McDonald Brothers circus performs at Estherville. Rural incidents include a fatal accident from a manure spreader, a drowning near Cedar Rapids, and a fatal fall from a scaffold near Council Bluffs. Recreational notes cover roller skating weight loss claims, fishing limit reminders, and a new steam shovel for Emmetsburg dredging. The column ties in many social calls, visits, and community updates across multiple towns.
