WAKEFIELD, formerly of Hallman & Wakefield of this city, is now proprietor of a Racket store in Neodesha, taking possession recently. Miss Helen RILEY came down from Wichita, where she has been attending Fairmount College, for a week's vacation, and will be the guest of her sister, Mrs. W.E. TREADWELL and other relatives and friends while in the county and city. Henry AYRES of Danville writes us to change his address from Danville to Augusta, Woods county, Oklahoma. Mr. AYRES has been a resident of the county for a good many years and we regret to lose him as a citizen. People who had early garden truck up , are deploring the Tuesday freeze, and their more slothful neighbor who did not get his garden in, is now saying, " I told you so," and I knew that we would have some cold weather before April. Harry WHITNEY and Dick SETHMAN sailed from Seattle on Monday the 7th day of this month bound for the gold fields of Alaska. The boys took sixteen month's provisions with them and at the time of their communitcation neither had experienced any sea sickness; they will probably stay at Skaguay until the season of open weather in that country. The wild geese are usually reliable weather prophets, but they got as badly fooled as the people Monday evening. All evening up to midnight they were flying north and predicting warm weather, but shortly after midnight they struck a norther coming south that set them about face in a hurry and lowered their worth as weather prophets about 80 per cent.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday March 18, 1898 A Sad Affair. Mrs. W.P. REDEAU of St. Louis has been visiting her sister, Mrs. STURMER, wife of the head miller at the Poorman mills for the past two weeks. The 20 months-old boy of Mr. RIDEAU was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia and died Monday morning. Mr. RIDEAU who is on the Advertising department of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, had just come in to visit with his wife and found the little one dying. The funeral was held at the Sturmer residence Tuesday afternoon, and the short, simple services were conducted by Rev. J.R. EDWARDS of the Baptist church. The interment was in Spring Grove Cemetery. The little fellow was an unusually bright and healthy child, and was the idol of his parents. Their grief is inconsolable, but the good people of Anthony heartily sympathize with them in their irreparable loss. (Note: Redeau and Rideau spelled as printed in newspaper.)

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday March 18, 1898 The Marshal Shoots. Harper had another shooting scrape Saturday night. From published and private accounts it seems to have been a case of resisting an officer, the resistance being prompted by too much booze. Marshal NEUMEYER had arrested one Jerey PAYNE for drunkenness, and when "Peaky" HURST and others interfered and tried to take his prisoner away from him, he took a shot at "Peaky" the ball glancing off of his cheek and only inflicting a slight wound. Anybody else would have probably been killed, but a 38 calibre bullet is no match for Hurst's cheek.

The Anthony Weeky Bulletin Harper County Friday March 11, 1898 A Boy Lost. Early Monday morning it was announced that Grover, the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank WAY, was lost. The last heard of him had been Sunday afternoon when he had started to catch up with some boys supposed to be located on Spring creek, and as he did not return at dark the folks were a little uneasy, but thought he was going to stay all night with some of his playmates, but when school time come and he had not put in an appearance they thought it time to begin the search for him. The fire bell collected the citizens and searching parties were hastily formed, the most of them leaning to the direction he was supposed to have taken up the creek. The suspense was soon over for the boy was soon located sound and well. He had started up the creek and not finding the boys, kept going on and finally got turned around and walked the wrong way until dark, when he took to a straw stack to spend the night but being found by the farmer he was given shelter for the night and started home! bright and early but missed the road and was hunting for it when found. Everybody was relieved when it became known that he had been found alive and well, and Grover's appearance at school was hailed with delight by all, and the smaller boys have made quite a hero of him.
