The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday October 29, 1897 Danville and Odell. Mrs. Rebecca LEHEW is improving slowly. The Burke school house now has a new well which supplies a long felt want. Miss Lucy AYERS now reports a new bicycle and she can ride quite gracefully. Dr. C.S. LOYD met with a very painful accident by being thrown from his cart. He will have to confine himself to the house for some time. As far as the eye may look in either direction it is met by beautiful fields of wheat, which will soon do for pasture; and you can also note a difference in the farmer's gait, as he builds his hope on next year's crop. Little Ruthie NORTON, aged five years, had a very narrow escape of her life on Monday last. An enraged hog seized her as she was passing thorugh the hog lot, and but for the timely aid of her father, would have torn her to pieces. Fortunately she was not seriously hurt.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday October 29, 1897 A Fatal Accident. A most distressing accident occurred at the home of Charles PRESTON, near Alvaretta, Oklahoma, last Thursday evening. Their little daughter, Beulah, about 8 years old had rode the old horse in the evening and probably while near the place the horse became frightened and ran home dragging the little girl whose foot had caught in the stirrup. The parents in their attempts to catch the horse only frightened him the more and the girl was dashed to death right before their eyes. Word was sent to the relatives in this county some of whom were able to attend the funeral. The many friends heartily sympathize with the family in their affliction.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday October 8, 1897 After Many Years. Mrs. J.R. HARRIS, Jr., of Anthony township was most agreeably surprised last week. The lady had been visiting relatives in the Strip and upon her return was informed by her husband that he had good news for her, the good news being a letter from David ALLISON at Warsaw, Illinois, inquiring of Mr. HARRIS if his wife's maiden name was Allison and if so, claiming here as his sister. Mrs. HARRIS and her brother lost their parents by cholera, in Ohio, when the boy was only nine months old. They were taken by different families, and Mrs. HARRIS had not know of the baby brother's whereabouts for many years. The family of which Mrs. HARRIS wa a member came to Illinois, and there she married Mr. Harris, and after their marriage they made diligent search for the brother. An advertisement was answered from Columbus, Ohio, by a school teacher who had a pupil by the name of David Allison but the second letter from him reported the young man gone from the city. Mr. Harris thinks that in a! ll probability, he was the person they were after, but they lost all trace of him at that time and never heard of him again until he wrote from Warsaw in September. There seem to be no question as to his identity as the brother of Mrs. Harris, and we venture that the meeting will be a happy, if deferred one.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday October 8, 1897 Wayne Simmons Dead. Word from Editor SIMMONS of the Manchester Journal, under date of October 6, says, "Little Wayne died this afternoon at 3:45; will be buried tomorrow at Hutchinson, Kansas." For over six months the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. J.M. SIMMONS have feared such announcement as the above would reach them, but as time passed they hoped that medical skill might triumph and the life of the little sufferer be saved. Wayne M. SIMMONS was born October 25, 1895 and died October 6, 1897. The little fellow grew and thrived as most babies do until the 26th of March this year, when he in some unaccountable way got hold of and swallowed some concentrated lye, causing a stricture of the throat. His life was despaired of at the time but he rallied, and through the hot summer months he fought inch by inch for life; the unsual children complaints attacked him, and the fond parents consulted the best physicians in Manchester, Anthony, WIchita and Hutchinson, and everywhere wre met with the one announcement that their darling one could not live. You who are parents know what such an announcement would mean, and you would do as Mr. and Mrs. SIMMONS did, hope and pray th! at the physicians in this case at leasst might be mistaken. By this time the entire Southwest was interested in the case of little Wayne, and characteristic of the disease he became better and was able to take some nourishment, and the parents grasping at a straw hoped that a change for the better had come; it had, but it was a delusive one and was followed by a more serious condition than ever, and the little fellow without nourishment enough to sustain a bird lived and maintained strength wonderful for his condition. The last month has been a fearful one to the parents; they have had the consciousness that Wayne must die; they have daily watched him grow thinner and weaker, virtually starving to death, and fully realizing that no earthly power could save him, and when the inevitable happened Wednesday afternoon, although prepared for it by months of waiting, the blow was none the less heavy or their burden easier to bear. Kind sympathy at such a time may help them to better bear the burden of their grief and lessen its intensity, and of such they have the sincere expressions of thousands of friends.
