Keota shows busy trade with many teams daily and a house selling $100 of goods in a day. A list of marriages in March shows many couples and a few notable papers. a fire near Capt Bayer’s house was quickly put out. Citizens protest council removal of machinery from the square and push for a high fence. A drunken Swede’s arrest brings laughter in the streets.
