John Devine is making preparations to start for Kansas with his steam threshing outfit. He will leave for

that state about June first and will stay through the threshing season there, and then return in time to have

another run here in the fall.

--Bancroft Register, 28 May 1890

Barney Devine was up from Irvington yesterday visiting his son-in-law M. Freilinger.

--Bancroft Register, 4 June 1890

C. C. Hall, who has spent the season herding cattle in the north part of the county, is once more a resident

of Algona. He had over 300 head for Barney Devine. The cattle have been driven home where they will

find better pasturage, Mr. Devine having a lot of late feed. The cattle have done well during the summer

and are in fine shape for fall feeding.
