Birds are worth $100 a piece and a good specimen yields about $25 worth of feathers at a plucking." {This news blurb was found on a page of primarily national news. However, if anyone knows of an ostrich farm in Callaway County, please report findings to the KCHS Research Center. Thank you.} Wrong Pasture. Itinerant Butcher of Callaway County Released on Bond. George W. Perkins has been selling beef on the streets of Fulton. He has been charged with stealing beef from the pasture of Mr. J. W. Ivens, south of the city. Perkins was released on a $250 bond yesterday by Justice of the Peace R. W. Morrow. Perkins claimed he bought a cow from Mr. Fred Niehoben. He thought he was getting the cow from Niehoben's pasture. Alas, that was not the case. He was in the wrong pasture. He took a cow from Iven's pasture. The testimony of Mr. Niehoben will largely determine the case. (from the Jefferson City Press) 100 years ago from the New Bloomfield News (1926) (The New Bloomfield News had a subscription rate in 1926 of $1/year. H. I. Nichols & Son were the owners and publishers. H. I. Nichols served as the editor.) Opening Coal Mine. W. E. Tate, Robert Rooskill and Jack Coman of Pittsburg, KS, are sinking a shaft on the farm of J. S. Guthrie, one half mile south of New Bloomfield. The miners have gone down 20 feet. The vein is thought to be between 3-4 feet thick and covers a large area. The men will also sink a second shaft up on high ground on Mr. Guthrie's land. The mine is located about 300 yards from the state highway and the men propose to use trucks in marketing the coal.
