Replied to Littlefield at ABA banquet and court reply
Judge Townsend defended the Supreme Court decision cited by Congressman Littlefield at an ABA banquet in Denver on August 24. The evening featured many toasts with W V Heasel of Pennsylvania and Judge Wm K Townsend of the U.S. District Court New Haven delivering the strongest remarks defending Justice Brown and longstanding government policy since the Louisiana Purchase. A separate item from Cairo notes a father in distress after learning his family drowned when the City of Gotronda packet sunk, and a Bridgeport inventor, Gustav Whitelead, pursues a larger flying machine bound for New York with a two passenger capacity. A St Louis note confirms Red Jack Williams, tied to the shooting outside Celia’s saloon, remains a focal point of investigation.

Hay and corn crops show scarcity in Taxewell area
The hay crop in Taxewell and adjoining counties is nearly a failure with prices at 18 to 20 dollars per ton. Scarcity drives land leases on the Imwola river bottom where harvesters bring in grain, one farmer selling over two hundred tons at six dollars per ton. Cattle feed improved as demand rises. Corn yields in Taxewell exceed twenty bushels per acre on average, though much early corn has been cut for fodder and stored for winter.
