Waite, lake excursion concerns, a ticketed spectacle vendor fined for selling without a license, a runaway horse injuring Miles Colton and Mrs. Richmond, Cascade fair preparations, a minor assault case faring to dismissal, a new Deutrick store, a near-ditch accident in Scotch Grove, and Tree's Lice Killer sold by C.
