The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, August 2, 1889 Bellows Falls 8/2/1889 Dr. O. F. WOOD died Tuesday, having suffered a month or more from the effects of paralysis. He had been in the drug and mercantile business here since 1852, and was esteemed highly as a citizen. Eugene KEEFE caught a 1 1/4 pound trout in the flume at one of the mills, the other day. George A. BROWN has sold the Dr. DAVIS place to Clark CHASE. The Keene Cash store team ran away on Green street, the other day; but no serious damage resulted. F. B. BOSWORTH of Montpelier will shortly restock and reopen the old HOLDEN drug-store. Our base-ball team is making a good bid for the state championship. In the game Thursday of last week they did the Brattleboros (alleged champions) by the score of 4 to 3, in a very exciting game; at which time, it is asserted Col. HOOKER dropped $800 in wagers, other Brattleboro enthusiasts leaving enough behind them to make the total well up toward $1,500. The Brattleboros took sweet revenge, however, Wednesday of this week, on their own grounds, by walloping the B. F.'s 13 to 4. The Claremonts play here Saturday.
