A garbled OCR note reports a valuation related to burned horses with a figure of sixty dollars. No clear names, dates, or locations are readable. The fragment suggests an insurance or disposal context but lacks sufficient detail for a fuller summary.
Crowds flock to Oshkosh salesroom to view an immense array of serges and staple cloths. The offer includes seven days of free tents and samples for customers to inspect the new line of blue black and brown fabrics from merchant-tailors.
The notice promises low prices and free shipping with a five dollar minimum order. It touts a large Osh city workshop and invites customers to place orders to obtain a special deal.
A fragment references a person named Peter Han Fat and a payment of 150 dollars. The text is incomplete, offering minimal context about who paid whom and for what.
A smoky blaze left two walls charred and a van damaged as investigators probe the cause. The hanging horse incident and a Bradley family name surface in initial reports, with the owner reportedly held to account Tuesday amid high regard for the caretaker.
The Oshkosh scene centers on a barn attached to a residence once owned by Hansen and now bought months ago by Col John Hicks. Mr Hansen rented the adjacent stables to Bradley who arrived Monday with potatoes to market. The sheet iron barn roof collapsed, destroying the structure with the loss described as complete.
A barn blaze traps and kills multiple horses, including Bradley horses, as flames rage for hours. Firefighters struggle to pull beasts to safety while debris and burning hay feed the inferno, with one animal found entangled under a wall and others dying in stalls or corners.
Miss Bessie Coe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C A Coe, landed a ten pound pickerel thirty four inches long while fishing July Fourth between Roe’s Point and Knapp’s Point on Lake Winnebago. The catch, an unusual size for the species in these waters, was hauled ashore with a rowboat.
Mrs William Martin living with daughter Mrs Burton Clark at 420 Algoma Street fell Monday evening injuring both arms above the wrist and sustaining a deep cut on the head. She rose to call Dr Clark then struck a door near the top and fell headlong down the stairs. Despite the pain she is recovering and expected to do well.

Funeral notices describe services in New London and Winneconne for John Orenoon and Mrs Brace.

Representatives of the Fats and the Leans held a meeting to discuss delaying their baseball game at the Driving Park from July 11 to a later date. The likely new date is July 25, with managers undecided but planning the postponement to a later month. The delay benefits both teams by allowing them to reduce excess flesh and loosen joints. The rivalry draws local interest as neighborhood games spark enthusiasm among former American players and residents.
