    1. Mound City Items; July 30, 1899
    2. The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday July 30, 1899 Mound City. Little Hazel, the eight-year-old daughter of Lew OSBORN, fell from a fence last Friday and broke both bones of her arm below the elbow. Dr. BROOKS, formerly of Odessa, Mo., has taken up his residence in Mound City for practice of his profession. He comes highly recommended as a skillful physician. A defective flue started a fire in the roof of Lovilo SWIFT's residence Monday morning, but with the speedy help of neighbors it was put out with but slight damage. Some hogs belonging to Mitchell LEWIS, east of Pleasanton, were ravaging the crops of H. LAFLIN on Monday and Laflin and his young wife Clara were trying to pen the hogs when Lewis came up and struck Laflin and then struck Mrs. Laflin a powerful blow in the face, knocking her down and injuring here so seriously that a physician had to be called and she is still in bed. Lewis has been arrested and his trial will take place as soon as Mrs. Laflin is able to appear and testify. After striking Mrs. Laflin, Lewis ran away from her husband.
