George Wright, Sr., Bequeathed That
Amount By Death of Aunt.

According to the St. Paul
correspondent of the Greensburg Democrat, George Wright, Sr., living west
of St. Paul, has just received word that his aunt, Miss Catherine Gould,
was dead, and that in the settlement of her estate he would heir $5,000.
Miss Gould was a resident of Manchester, England, and passed away last
August. He she lived until last December she would have reached her on
hundred and first mile stone, which is almost incredulous to believe, but
nevertheless, it is a fact. She made her home with another maiden sister,
who is now past eighty years of age. During the life of the deceased she
amassed a fortune and others around here who will come in for a share will
be Mrs. John T. Cuskaden and George C. Wright, Jr.February 23, 1911

Wednesday afternoon after finishing the
threshing of seventy-five acres of wheat on the old Matthias
Wright farm, two miles north of the city, fire broke out in the
stubble field near the barn, igniting to the straw stack and then to the barn,
destroying both. There were eight tons of hay in the barn which was also
destroyed. Near the barn stood a large crib in which was stored two
hundred and fifty bushels of corn, the property of Tryon & Brown, liverymen,
of this city, and which was saved by bursting the side of the crib and allowing
the corn to run out. The crib was badly damaged. The barn is owned
by the widow and heirs of the late Matt Wright, and the farm is occupied
by John Bass, who had threshed 1,900 bushels of wheat from the
seventy-five acres. There was no insurance on any of the property
destroyed and the loss will be about $1,000.July 28, 1898
