M.F. BRENNAN INJURED
Friday M.F. BRENNAN fell from the top of a kiln in the brick and tile
factory and had two ribs broken. Dr. HENNESSY was summoned and adjusted the
injured bones. Mr. BRENNAN was confined to his bed for several days but
hopes to be about in a short time. The day was very warm and he was taken
with a dizzy spell. He fell a distance of ten feet. How fortunate that he
was not more seriously injured.

IS C.L. McFARLAND MARRIED?
Is C.L. McFARLAND married? This seems to be the question of the hour among
the ladies of Emmetsburg. He went to Eagle Grove Friday and has not yet
returned. The general impression is that he was married at that place
Saturday or Sunday to a rich widow with whom he has been keeping company for
some time. We hope the report is true. At all events we feel safe in saying
that he had an enjoyable time the Fourth.

It rained six or seven hours yesterday. Our drouth has certainly been
postponed.
