Chanute Tribune

The Chanute Tribune started as a small publication with 4 columns and 4 pages, founded by G.M. Dewey on April 8, 1892, with H.P. Hutton serving as the editor. In 1900, on September 6, Dewey sold the newspaper to J.M. Cavaness, who was later succeeded by his sons, Herbert and Wilfred, three years later. The brothers teamed up with Parks Helmick, and on October 31, 1905, they incorporated the Chanute Daily Blade into their operations. Four years after that, the brothers collaborated with A.R. Blakely and Fred Brinkerhoff to create a stock company called The Tribune Publishing Company, which then took over the Chanute Morning Star.

ERIE — Area teams converged on Prairie Ridge Golf Course for the Erie Invitational Boys Golf Tournament on Monday.

This allowed for a number of solid scores. Humboldt freshman Connor Newman won his third-straight tournament of the year with a 10-stroke victory.

The Chanute City Commission on Monday continue discussion on getting a new tenant at the Stone Creek Golf Course clubhouse to operate a restaurant.

Colborn’s signed a year lease in April 2023. Ideally, a new restaurant would be in place by April, but commissioners acknowledged the search may take longer.
