Ditch petitions and real estate transfers mark Kosciusko court actions
Kosciusko County Circuit Court and Commissioners handle ditch orders in Turkey Creek and Washington townships, appoint viewers, and set meeting dates. Real estate transfers include Summy, Mayner, Pletcher, and Vawter Park dealings, with a host of heirs and guardians filed and discharge notices. Obituaries note the deaths of Charles Ward and Dr. Eli Lefever, with tributes to their public service and church ties. A brief on a dangerous sledding practice prompts caution to keep children safe.

Portrait of Samuel Gruell and farming notes in Kosciusko
The Indianapolis News sketches Samuel Gruell a longtime Democrat who helped popularize the rooster as the party emblem after urging editor Chapman to publish a crowing rooster. The column also regards Gruell's kindness to neighbors and fondness for children, then shifts to Lake City Lumber's seed corn contest urging farm youths to record methods and soil data to build a local agricultural experiment station. It ends with notes on the Kosciusko Post G A R and the Woman's Relief Corps installation and respect for veterans.
