    3. The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday July 8, 1898 Walter MILLER, a well known former Anthony boy, was seriously injured in a bicycle race at Arkansas City on the Fourth. He collided with a horse on the track and was thrown from his wheel, and was unconscious for several hours, and grave fears were entertained as to his recovery. A telegram to Mr. HENTON Thursday annouced him out of danger, and his many Anthony friends will congratulate him on his narrow escape. W.R. SMITH of Eureka, Kansas has taken charge of the dry goods department at the Chicago Bazaar. He comes recommended as a good clerk and a nice gentleman. Dr. MUIR, A.B. HOFFMAN, of the Advocate and Dr. EDMINTON of Harper drove down from Harper Wednesday and were transacting business at the court house. Mrs. H.L. JONES and the children came in from Sumner county Thursday where they had spent the Fourth. They drove overland and were in a position to appreciate the intensity of the sun's heat at midday. F.M. ANDERSON was up from Blackwell to spend the Fourth in Anthony, and owing to the death of his sister, Mrs. J. F. CORRIGAN he did not return to Blackwell this week. Ex-County Clerk F. HAMILTON and daughter were county seat visitors Thursday of this week. Mr. Hamilton reports wheat harvest about over in his section. Mr. and Mrs. Emmett FOSTER are rejoicing over a boy baby which arrived at their home the first of the week. The Topeka Journal deliberately filched one of our last weeks items put a head and date on it and run it as a special dispatch from Anthony. And that is metropolitan journalism. J.E. JONES, the carpenter was here from Iola for a short business visit last week and this. Mr. Jones was one of Anthony's best citizens, and we would be glad to see him return and it is among the probabilities. J.K. WILSON has moved his drug stock from Kansas City, Kansas to Anthony and will occupy his old store room on East Main street as soon as it is fitted for occupancy.
