Emmetsburg Democrat Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa Wed., Aug 6, 1913 Homer STRATEMEYER was up from Carroll the first of the week placing a monument over the grave of the late John KERBER. Dr. BALDWIN of Ruthven is reported quite ill with rheumatism. Hence his partner, Dr. HOUSTON, is a very busy man these days. Mrs. E.W. CARPENTER will return from Glendive, Montana, the last of the week. Mr. CARPENTER was not able to secure a homestead in that locality. Mr. and Mrs. J.B. JACKSON will leve today for Glendive, Montana to spend three or four weeks with relatives. They have three sons living in that locality. The Democrat hopes they will have an enjoyable trip. William BOBLIT, James BURNS and Eugene KANE went to Chicago Saturday evening with shipments of stock. We have been watching the Windy City dailies during the past few days in order to keep tab on any late and interesting news. Roy WHEAT was a passenger to Rock Valley Tuesday morning. A marriage license was issued yesterday to John A REDDEN and Miss Verde WYLIE. Mrs. V.H. CLARK and children spent last week at the Fred CASSELL home in Ayrshire. Mrs. Frank KELLY and children of Cylinder were Emmetsburg visitors yesterday. The SHAW farm, two miles north of Grover, was sold a few days ago for $100 per acre. Mrs. Fred THOMA and children of Mason City were over Sunday guests at the home of Mr and Mrs. F.H. O'HALLORAN of this place. A few days ago Ed CARROL's team became frightened in this city and ran away damaging the buggy quite badly. No one was injured. Mr. COLLISON and two of his daughters and Mrs. MORGAN of Carroll have for several days been the guests at the home of Messrs. BOOTH and HILL of this locality. C.O. HARRISON of Rockwell City arrived in Emmetsburg the first of the week for a few days stay. He has a good position in a barber shop at that place. W.E. JACKMAN threshed out his oats the first of the week. The yield was about 60 bushels per acre. We understand that it will weigh out 70 bushels per acre. Mr and Mrs. Harry CLARK of this place travel regularly with the Haag Circus. Mr. CLARK owns a number of trained horses and gives daily exhibitions with them. The circus will be at Spencer August 16. Mrs. CLARK is a daughter of Mr and Mrs. John McNALLY. Will McNALLY, who has been with the Sells-Floto circus for four years, writes home from Winnipeg, Canada, that while showing in that city there was considerable excitement that is not usually advertised in advance. During a severe wind and hail storm the herd of elephants became frightened and stampeded, knocking down the quarter pole, overturning seats, etc. Several hundred horses belonging to the show became frightened at the noise made by the elephants and they also stampeded. The spectators got their money's worth. Cathy Joynt Labath Palo Alto Co, IA USGenWeb Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~iapaloal/paloalto.htm
