July 22, 1910 FIRE About noon Tuesday fire started in the barn on the farm operated by Ed Lantz south of Rush Lake. A little child was playing around the building, and ran to the house and told his mother there was a fire in the barn. Ed was in the field over a mile away and saw the flames. Mrs. Lantz and Miss Aird rushed for the barn and with almost superhuman effort cut loose four horses that were in the barn and drove them from the burning building. They next ran to the blacksmith shop and shed adjoining and pushed an automobile and buggy out of reach of the flames. They also endeavored to save some harness but the fire had become so hot that their clothing was scorched and they were forced to desist. By the time Ed reached the spot both barn and shop were a mass of flames. When further effort was useless both women dropped in a faint. Ed lost a bin of oats, some hay, harness and a valuable kit of blacksmith's tools. About five o'clock Sunday afternoon a fire broke out in a shed in the rear of Thompson's hardware. The fire bell sounded the alarm and soon a volunteer force was on hand with fire extinguishers and water buckets. The flames were subdued in a few minutes. How the fire started is a mystery. As everything is dry as tinder and a breeze was blowing at the time there is no telling what the results would have been had prompt measures not been taken. The loss is trifling.

Reilly of Milton is facing a serious charge as a result of a verdict returned by the coroner's jury in the post mortem examination held over the remains of Mrs. Wm. Drury of Langdon. Mrs. Drury had been at Milton for several days receiving medical treatment at the hands of Dr. Reilly. On Monday evening she died and the circumstances were so unusual that County Coroner Gibson was notified and he arrived in Milton Tuesday evening and conducted a post mortem examination. The coroner's jury, after hearing the testimony of coroner Gibson and Dr. Gustuson of Milton, who assisted in the autopsy, as well as the testimony of several witnesses, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to her death as the result of an illegal operation performed on her by Dr. J. J. Reilly. Mar. 10, 1911 This week the trial of J.J. Reilly of Milton on a charge of manslaughter is in progress at Langdon. A sensational incident at the windup of Dr. Reilly's hearing yesterday was the arrest of the defendant's main witness, Miss Nellie Gandy, who is being taken to Hannah today for a preliminary hearing. Miss Gandy has been a resident of Milton and vicinity for about four years and during the greater part of that time has been a nurse in the doctor's hospital (more). Last week Hannah lost one of her highly esteemed families in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Folker. For some years past Mr. Folker has been first assistant in Adam's Hardware establishment and had charge of the undertaking department. When Mr. Adams transferred his entire stock to A.W. Thompson, another hardware merchant of this town, Mr. Folker received several tempting offers of position in his line. One of these came from the Green Hardware firm at Milton, which was accepted. DIED-At the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Treleaven of Hannah on Thursday morning, March 9th, there departed this life, Vera, only daughter, at the age of 14 years.

The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their double loss. Mar. 24, 1911 GANDY TRIAL Monday afternoon Miss Nellie Gandy was arraigned before Justice Shanks on a charge of manslaughter. The case grew out of the trial of Dr. J.J. Reilly on a similar charge for manslaughter in the death of Mrs. W. Drury. Miss Gandy was nurse for the patient some ten days prior to her death (more). May 19, 1911 Our enterprising barber, W.A.

He was at once taken to the hospital at Hannah where the wounds were cared for. It was found that on one leg the bones were cut off completely and on the other the large bone only was cut.
