Humboldt Independent: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Devine were called to mourn the loss of their infant

daughter of two weeks old on the 27th ult. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church and

the burial made in the new cemetery one and a half miles south, it being the first burial in the

grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Devine have the sympathy of all in their loss, yet none can truly sympathize

but those who have met with similar losses. [John Devine’s son Frank and Eleanor “Nellie” Dunn

Devine]

Humboldt Independent: Mrs. John Devine Jr. [Josephine Rohrer] has gone to Junction City, Kansas, the

home of her people, where she will make her home for the present. Mr. Devine after arranging his business,

will go there and be on hand with his steam thresher and sheller when the season opens for that line of

work; but it is no new [trek] with him, as for the past few years he has made that country his fall stomping

ground, and many a Kansan has been astonished at the great capabilities of Mr. Devine's little machine.

Matt Freilinger and J. N. Salldin were to have a law suit last Saturday at this place but the latter's lawyer

did not appear in time and the case went by default. J.W. Sullivan, Algona's democratic lawyer, and G. W.

Skinner were attorneys for the plaintiff, and W. B. Quarton for the defendant, but the latter did not receive

word in time to come until the evening train which was too late, as the court had adjourned. The cause of

the trouble was some hay which had been sold to the defendant by plaintiff.
