County and Local Notices from Hill City to Kansas Rail Lines
The page notes changes in Alex Shaw’s carpenter shop on Winthrop avenue. It says County Commissioners will advertise for proposals to rebuild the Lawrence bridge. Councilman Kilworth fears for his niece in the Michigan Central train wreck yesterday morning. The County Commissioners are not prisoners but depend on the Deputy U S Marshal. Some people misunderstand this. An attempt to burn the Western Star office at Hill City, Graham County, occurred last Saturday night, with the editor accusing the local postmaster of incendiary acts. Kansas Pacific and Santa Fe railroads run heavy stock trains. Santa Fe may struggle to move all cattle in Kansas within fifty years. The Standard claims Harry Simmons robbed birds nests in the park Wednesday and fell from a tree, injuring him, except details are corrected: Curry was not hurt, the boy did not climb a tree, birds have gone south, and Simmons’s boy was not in the park.
