Amid a crowded field the Beaver team defeated Fulton Creek 34 to 20 in a Saturday matchup. Crowded stands witnessed a lively contest with heavy hitting as Beaver built a lead early and never relinquished it. Local life notes include a birth for Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Miles, a Friday audience for A. L. Vangoison, and various community updates from Beaver and nearby towns.
The notice mourns Mrs D Th Baker who died August 16 after injuries from a buggy overturn in a cyclone while returning to the city. Interred in Meade Kansas, details recall a 42nd wedding anniversary.

A chaotic night in Meade County jail ends with Flertious and Clorer aiding a breakout. They, aided by an absent guard, released prisoner Cooper, overpowered another guard, and escaped with weapons.
