City notes and local happenings in a late Fortnight
Clarence Kearney, former night policeman, remains in uncertain condition after a train fall in the Local Yards last Friday morning. A Free Trip to the Seattle fair drew Miss Mabel Hutchinson, ticket holder No 2087, to a Liveengood department store promotion last Saturday. Miss Elizabeth Walker of the Washington school purchased the first fair excursion ticket on the Northern Pacific line and travels to Seattle for the opening, aiding irrigation town preparations for visitor influx and a strawberry day. Fishermen report varied success with trout, with north fork McKay yielding fair results, Birch, McKay, and Meacham creeks faring about the same as recent times.
