A fakir in Vandalis ads a golf ring puzzle and brassy feints to lure bets, then robs 35. In Claremont near Olney, cows roam free causing injuries as a steer runs wild through John Beard’s lot, a boy is hurt, and a man is nearly trampled. Nearby, legend-tracking Neese hints at a Cherokee mine. Sandoval is said to sit above a hidden subterranean lake to be used for waterworks. Illinois gold cure places must obtain liquor licenses. Grayville’s Win Morris reports a 200 pound triple catfish. A giant snake haunts a Havana lake and five counties report glanders in horses.
