MC MAKEN, the contractor on the Chicago avenue sewer, is getting along in fine shape with the work of construction and will in a short time have the new sewer ready to be turned over to the city.

The sewer will be as all Cass county product, with the Keystone company of Union supplying the material and the local men doing the work of excavating and laying of the sewer.

Tuesday morning a runaway occurred in the vicinity of Old Wyoming, about five miles southeast of here, in which our old friend Thomas WILSON was very severely bruised and painfully injured and Charles STRAW was slightly injured while Walter MEADE, the other occupant of the buggy, escaped uninjured.

The buggy upset and threw the three men out, resulting in the above injuries.

He was taken to St. Elizabeth’s hospital on Monday and the injured parts put in proper shape. He is getting along nicely and will be home in a day or two. – Elmwood Leader-Echo

We are called upon this week to announce the death of one of Cass county’s old and respected pioneers, Mr. William Thomas WILSON. Mr. Wilson was born in Putman [sic] county, Indiana, January 15, 1840, and died at his farm June 16, 1916, aged 76 years, 5 months and 1 day. Mr. Wilson awoke on the morning of the 16th feeling as well as usual. He ate a good breakfast and went to the field to work as farm hands could not be secured. He came in at noon and ate a good dinner, and went back to work without a complaint. Sometime during the afternoon he was found dead in his field, where he had fallen off the cultivator while plowing corn. The exact time of his death is not known as his body was cold when found. His son, aged about 16, gave the alarm as soon as he came upon his father and realized what had taken place. Mr. Wilson was one of those kind of men in whom we saw the best that was in manhood. He was a loving husband, a kind father and an excellent neighbor, respected by all with whom he had acquaintance, and his removal from the neighborhood will be keenly missed by those who knew him best. He came to Nebraska from Indiana, in the year 1859, and was engaged in freighting from Nebraska to Colorado. Later he engaged in farming and had resided on the present place for the past thirty-five years. He was married on June 12, 1889, to Miss May WOOD of Lorton, Neb., and to this union were born two sons, one dying in infancy. He is survived by his wife and one son, Paul. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. W.H. BANNING, of near here, and Mrs. Richard SLOAN, living elsewhere, and two brothers, James, of Union, and Robert, living in the northern part of the state. The funeral services were held at the Wyoming church last Sunday at 2:30 p.m., by Rev. W.A. TAYLOR of Union, and the interment was made in the cemetery nearby. The friends and relatives of the deceased have the sympathy of all in their sad hour of bereavement. – Union Ledger.
