Two incidents at the new North Warren asylum construction last week. John Edwards fell from a scaffold, dislocating his right shoulder and sustaining bruises. Henry C. Shiley, a Grade City resident, plunged from the fourth story to the basement, about sixty feet, dying on Saturday evening. Pupils and workers contributed 25000 for his destitute family.

The Irish lodge United Workmen pledged support. Funeral held at the German Evangelical Church. Also, the Great Van Amburg Menagerie and Circus returns to Warren with two performances on Monday, July 30, praised for quality.
