The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday January 13, 1899 Daniel STAINBROOK received Tuesday of this week from the Sect. of the Red Pol Society of Iowa one thorough bred bull, weight 1760 pounds, and one cow, weight 1135 pounds. The fire company elected the following officers at their last meeting: S.G. DECKER, president; E.E. WUTTKE, secretary; Howard McCARTY, captain hose reel; James DORMAN, captain engine. J.W. JOHNSON one of Pleasanton's real estate exchange, was in LaCygne Friday ascertaining the true value of this section from Judge E.P. McCARTY. Miss Flora WALLACE, of Neponset, Illinois, who has been visiting with her niece, Ida M. FRY and family for several weeks, left last week for Central Kansas to visit L.B. FORRESTER, formerly of LaCygne. T.B. TURNER who resides four miles southwest of LaCygne, swore out a warrant in Justice McCARTY's court last Monday for the arrest of Fred GRAHAM for stealing a dog. Constable HYMER went in search of young GRAHAM and found him and the dog comfortable enjoying each others society at the home of Rheuben GRAHAM southwest of LaCygne. The constable brought in both dog and boy and the lad plead guilty to petty larcency. Judge McCARTY turned on the screw of the law to the extent that $5.00 liquated the boy's wayward yearning for the other man's dogs. While there is no commandant to the effect that thou shalt not covet they neighbor's dog yet, Judge McCARTY firmly believes that there should be one.
