Prairie News Roundup From Ottawa Sparland And More
A collage of notices from Ottawa Sparland and surrounding towns reports Bragg planning to move to Nebraska, Sparland mine sales, Ottawa streetcar project, and large live stock shows in Chicago. Elections in Streator, legal cases in Evans and Elgin, tax changes in Illinois districts, and local trades and incidents from Lacon to Onarga fill this patchwork page.
