Children in court as parents’ troubles noted
Mary J Latour ten and William E Latour eight, children of Edward and Lizzie, were placed under the State board after a court ruling. Their mother was jailed five months earlier this week, while their father, living in New Jersey, does not reside with the family. The Clarke children Maude and Mary B, with cases continued, were brought in as guardians seek stability. Judge’s warnings about the father’s drinking and neglect are noted. James H Golden was found guilty of stealing a shovel from B and N street railway property and fined ten dollars. He claimed the shovel came from a saloon patron and denied ever working for the company. Golden, an elderly man from Wall Street, Belvidere, faces his own alcohol struggles and resignation from work.

Why and Wherefore of Coal Prices During Strike
The coal situation remains practical and scarce with half ton lots and prices from $8.50 to $10 per ton. A Lowell dealer explains price variance stems from supply costs and independent operators charging higher rates. He notes coal companies charge uniform prices, while independent sellers raise prices in tight markets, and a $12.50 upper bound exists for noncompetitive coal.
