Revival services across Firth and Hastings area
Rev Byron Beal of Firth and Ed Knickerbocker of Hastings led revival services at the Presbyterian church. A 50 year old farmers mass meeting at Harbine prompted a resolution to bind grain by hand to boycott binder trusts. The Diller Cornet Band received new grey and gold uniforms and played on Main Street then teamed with the Ply mouth Greys for a Harbine mass meeting. The jury in Libbie Beecher’s murder trial found her not guilty after a five minute deliberation. King, Chicago millionaire, had abandoned her and moved to Omaha where Beecher shot him at the Paxton Hotel.
