Robbed By Hired Hand At Oak Township Home
Robbery at the home of Flison Evernham in Oak Township occurred Sunday afternoon when the hired hand, a fellow named Chris Holland, absconded with Mrs. Evernham's fine gold watch engraved with the name Mary and a pocketbook containing $10 and books. The family returned home around 4:30 and reported the theft on Tuesday afternoon after Holland had escaped. Holland had eaten dinner at Henry Evernham Sr's earlier, and the authorities may use the details to recover the stolen items. Meantime, news from Fremont Neb tells of a Carnegie offer to fund a $15,000 library building with $1,500 yearly support, contingent on site provision, aiding a city library project already debated for a year.

Estes Buys Out Estes Farm Near Glenwood Mills County
The Bates sales and Estes purchase reshape Mills County land holdings. George W Bates bought his brother Edward Estes's 890 acre farm in Rawles Township for about $55 per acre overall, with $60 per acre on part and $50 on the rest. The deal, noted as a bargain amid rising real estate prices, hints Estes may leave Mills County. An old tale recalls Uncle Dick Mickel’s near-miss sale years ago for $26 per acre, underscoring changing fortunes. The piece also notes Willard Campbell, former Mills County sheriff, preparing to leave Shenandoah, moving March 1 to Woodbine, with sale set for Jan 29. In Strahan, Harry Gonend narrowly escaped severe injury when kicked by a horse, a hoof striking his sternum and causing a chest injury, but he is now improving.
