Marshfield notes and town news from the line
The Marshfield column reports woolly details from local life including a log haul by Deers and Cramer, a carload wheat shipped to Waupaca, and Syme Bros. Maurer stave mill restarting. Legislation funds unity guards clothing, and Marathon County rail land disposals pass. Local troubles include paymaster actions, a Cornish squire tale, and a young druggist visit. Political gossip, public works, and a warning against tobacco spitting accompany brief crime and telegraph frustrations.

Young farm hand saves bridge and train passage
Reinhold Schafer, a farm hand between Cadett and Boyd, discovered a four span bridge on fire between 11 and 12 oclock Friday night. He alerted the Cadett station, aiding section hands to bring the blaze under control and allowing the No. 3 northbound to pass safely. The piece also notes a chimney fire remedy from Appleton fire department using a large wet cloth wound around the stove pipe to generate steam and smother the fire.
