Drowning scare at Gull Lake and local notes fade in
Georges Wright narrowly escaped drowning at Gull Lake last week when his effort to reach a house boat failed. Harry Simmons aided him to safety. Mrs. Caroline Penny, upset by a suspected betrayal, attempted suicide with chloroform but was saved by a doctor. Special Enumerator J L Lamastus moved to Battle Creek to begin census work. Huckleberry picking begins with strong yields, and a marsh near Marengo opens for the season. A brief sketch recalls Miss Mary O Robinson born in Marshall in 1846 who taught and served in China. A Glasgow report mentions W J Bryan’s potential White House bid via his pioneering ancestry.
