Storm Damages and State Immigration Board Update
A powerful electrical storm dropped half an inch of rain causing damage to a Methdist Episcopal church estimated at about 1000 dollars and a barn fire at the city’s rear. The state branch commission completed work for the last called session, closing about forty brand filings and will reconvene in fall. The failed attempt to refer the immigration department law means the immigration board will soon select a commissioner, with the governor and secretary of state serving on the board.
