Mr. Hartley’s many friends are all glad to see him out again after his five weeks confinement from his shooting accident.

We are very sorry to hear of Goodland’s disastrous fire, Saturday night, the New Baptist church, two dwellings and contents, Billy Banes’ store room containing a car load of floor and several sheds and a coal house being entirely destroyed. It was only by the greatest of exertions that numerous other buildings were saved. Experience is a hard teacher but her lessons are well learned. And our sister town will now probably invest in some manner of fire protection . Mrs. Joseph Vogel is very low with flox. Her friends fear a fatal termination of her illness. Miss Anna Barnes is home from Logansport. Chas. Elmore was seriously hurt at Goodland, last Friday, while loading a steam thresher on the cars for shipment to Dakota. The separator rolled back, crushing Mr. Elmore between it and the engine, breaking several ribs, and otherwise injuring him. He was taken to the home of Mr. H. C. Bughee, and at last accounts was doing as well as could be expected. Preparations for the “Assembly” at Fountain Park are almost completed. A correct program will be out the first of the week.
