Ross Porter of Jordan tp., had a horse killed by lightning Sunday and Jack Hoyes, of northeast of town, and John Ulyatt, 'near Brook, each had a steer killed in the Borptragex pasture in Newton tp. A. D. Gilson of Benton county, who with his family made an overland trip to Portland, Ore., accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Babcock, a year or two ago, returned this week and his family will probably come back later. George P. Daugherty, who had been doing quite nicely of late, suffered a relapse Wednesday night and had an attack of leakage of the heart again. He was somewhat improved yesterday, it was thought. Mr. Daugherty is 87 years of age. O. K. Rainier visited his farms near Chalmers this week and reports that the rain did not do as much damage there as here, in fact, not nearly so much water fell there. Crops are looking fine, and it is onlyon the lower ground that the corn has been damaged to any extent. Mrs. Granville Moody of Barkley tp., was Taken to Chicago Tuesday to be examined by a specialist and it was believed that possibly an operation would be necessary. This was found not to be the case, however, and it is thought that a course of treatment will cure her trouble, and she will go to Chicago once each month to take treatment until relieved.
