Badge Passes Through Hands At Scandia Gun Club
Old records note James Weyand held the champion badge until W. F. Allen took it, then C. P. Carstensen won it. Local notes report a rain-soaked revival of crops after three weeks of drought, a Greenback Labor party convention set for August 7 1884 in Clay Center to nominate a congress candidate, and various town happenings including a city hall bonds vote passing 98 to 42, a stubborn bank safe, a new home for Dr Roeckhold, and social quips about wives and hair.
