Auction Looms for Armstrong Elevator Firm Amid Shortfall
Armstrong farmers face a pending auction of the Armstrong elevator company after a six thousand dollar shortage tied to speculative board of trade activity under late manager Broderick. Stockholders are expected to recover at most sixteen cents on the dollar. Also in town, a playful street stunt by John Griffith, known as Griff, saw him ride a wagon horse along East Lincoln street, clinging to a curtain as the horse bolted, but he safely reached the seat without incident.
