Saturday June 1st 1901 Was very busy with the work all forenoon. Went down town in the afternoon. got Ida a hat. Will came back with me. I was at home awhile. Ott & Fannie are married 14 years today and Ott got her a new buggy When we came home Russell told Will word had come that one of the horses had been cut on a scythe. Will went over and found one of his match sorrel's cut so it will have to be killed. It made us both nearly sick. Will sold Mr Strimel the valley land and paid $1,000 at the bank.
