June 18,1880 Era The little fondling at W.P. Evans died suddenly, Tuesday morning about two o’clock. The child had not been well since it found a home with Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Evans, but there were no apprehensions of the little ones death, and when the grim monster called, the child was apparently resting easy in Mrs. Evans lap, and died so suddenly that she was not aware of its danger until all was over. The unhappy mother wherever she is, will have no further need to hide from the living evidence of her indiscretion. The little stranger was tenderly laid to its last resting place by kindly hands, and loving hearts wept over its early death. (this child had been left near a bridge and Mr. and Mrs. Evans found it and took it home, an article was put in the newspaper about it and the mother came to their home and told them she was unwed, she then left for the east to hide her indiscretion and Mr. and Mrs. Evans were going to raise the child as their own.)
June 25,1880 Era Lillian Halpin came from Odebolt where two of her sisters reside about the middle of March and commence work at Ball’s hotel as a dining room girl. Those who were acquainted with her represent her at that time as a comely young woman of cheerful and sunny disposition. In a short time after her arrival C. Morgan of Pittsburg, PA came here and took rooms at the hotel. he subsequently bought land about five miles south of town which he has been improving but he made the hotel his headquarters. Soon after Mr. Morgan commenced boarding at the house an intimacy sprung up between him and Lillie and it was reported that on two occasions they were soon to be married. Something like a month ago, it appears by the evidence of her brother in law at Odebolt, Lillie went to his house, going from here on the train, and in a short time Morgan called for her and they went away together, going they said to Sac City with a horse and buggy. They were gone from Thursday until Monday when they returned to this place together. Since that time the girl has appeared to be in serious trouble, the other girls about the house often finding her in tears. Tuesday morning (the day of her death) she did her work as usual, after which she went to her room, changed clothes and calling on Morgan she went into the parlor and in two or three minutes afterwards was dead. The almost universal opinion is that Lillian Halpin, tired of this life, swallowed a deadly drug and rushed unbidden into the presence of her Maker. The cause that led to the rash act is a mere matter of speculation, but that opinion very generally prevails, that in some manner, her relations with Mr. Morgan was the moving cause. To what extent he is responsible, he alone knows. If through fault of his, this young girl fills a suicide’s grave, Clambers Morgan has a heavy load to carry through his life. Go where he will, travel to the utmost of the earth, mingle in scenes of revelry and mirth, or hide in seclusion, in sickness and in health, he will know the truth.

July 30,1880 Era This community was shocked last Wednesday afternoon by the report that J.L. Morey, a farmer who lived about five miles southwest of town, near Battle Creek, had met with an accident that would probably prove fatal. Mr. Morey was cutting grain with a self rake reaper to which was attached three horses. A large weed, which he thought too large to cut without injury to his sickle, caused him to stop the team and get down off the seat to remove it, going in front of the sickle to do so, when one of the horses kicked him, striking him upon the chin and knocking him down. At the same time the horses started to run and the unfortunate man was caught in the guards of the machine and dragged a long the merciless sickle doing its terrible work. One of his legs was cut nearly off the sharp saw like teeth of the sickle tearing through the thick flesh of the thigh and cutting the bone entirely off. The victim was drawn but a short distance before the machine passed over him, but far enough fro the cruel steel to do its work of death. men were at work close by in the field who hastened to the relief of the injured man, taking him to his house and summoning doctors. Dr. Bake and Miller of this place and Dr. Graeser of Battle Creek were called and rendered what aid possible. The doctors amputated the mangled limb, but the terrible shock to the nervous system and the loss of blood were too much and death was soon and closed the scene.
