Diamond found in Wisconsin drift prompts old case echoes
A young Charles Devine son found a diamond in glacial drift near Oregon Wisconsin. Professor Hobbs of the University of Wisconsin confirmed it a genuine rhombic dodecahedron diamond worth about 200. Parallel notes recount a 1884 Winnebago County find that sparked litigation. Also reported: Edith Austin missing from Oshkosh, a will dispute in Calumet County, and local legal and business items including a land option near Helena and a sidewalk injury case in Menasha.
