Arthur Finnegan, an aged county resident, suffered serious injuries after a hay load swung loose from a brake rope and tipped him to the ground. He was taken to hospital Sunday in Kilmer, with a broken right arm and severe spinal injury. Heinemann oversees his care.
Philip hosts a three day Harvest Festival drawing crowds of over two thousand on Friday and similar turnout on Thursday and Saturday. Exhibits led by E A Morrison and J C Auld topped grain and vegetable categories. Morrison won nine blue ribbons. Races, street attractions, and Cheyenne river Indians dances enhanced the event with broad community support and appreciated prizes and premiums listed.
A merchant portrait and recurring gags about Breakfast Food jokes are described. The Commercial Traveler caricatures a patron, ceasing prune peddling, and now caricatures presidential candidates in a big daily. The merchant travels by road, riffing on freight trains, and has his picture in the paper.
The Review announces a popularity contest with a grand plano prize now underway. Contestants tabled include Mrs Sarah Penney of Elbow with 410 votes and Miss Lers Young of Ft Pierre with 510 votes, plus Miss Berflice Gust of Philip with 410 votes, with more entries expected. Penney is well known locally and Young is the daughter of Warren Young, a county leader and Fort Pierre High School graduate.
The Stanley county exhibit, sent by freight to Turon for the state fair, never reached its consignee. Rail officials have no explanation, and it is likely sidetracked somewhere along the line. The display comprised blue ribbon harvest festival winners and its loss dampens local efforts, sparking questions about railroad accountability and damages to Philip Land & Cattle Co.
