Narrowly Escaped Court House Cullings Why They Leave Farm
A Kansas newspaper recounts Ralph Moran, 22, struck by a southbound Limited while crossing the T U T tracks at Mungen. He was hurled 60 feet, suffered broken ribs, knee injuries, and a concussion, then taken to the Shaffer storekeeper’s home. A separate legal note covers a will dispute in Long v Long, a divorce granted to John D. Foster for neglect, and an assault case where Lashuay claims damages from Barnes. An editorial then questions farm families leaving the countryside, urging homes with modern comforts to keep daughters from city life and keep families intact.
