Saturday Notes From Town and County
Dr Abdulal is very ill and confined to his room while Davell the efficient mailing clerk is out sick. W C T U delegates from the city attend Baldwin City session. The house apportions one Douglas County senator and two representatives. State vs J H Sisson for violating the prohibitory law continued two weeks due to defendant illness. A horse and driver on Massachusetts street were thrown when the horse reared. W R Bremington brings a wild cat scalp for a $3 bounty. Northside farmers visit the city with wheat paid 70 to 90 cents per bushel. A proposed amendment in the prohibitory law would shift the probate fee to the county treasury for school funds. A merry G A R ball entertained drum corps members until late. A social hop is planned two weeks hence inviting all attendees.
