Unusual court martial case stirs Medford crowd
The Medford case centers on Frank Reaser of Taylor county Wisconsin. After learning of his brother's typhoid death and his parents' needs he returned home and was arrested, tried by court martial, and sent to Leavenworth for a year.

In a separate note a cashier near Broadway sought travel details to South America and received a cryptic reply about ships resuming service next Wednesday. A late train scene ends with a flirtatious exchange over a young woman's shoes, revealing their four years of wear.
