The Avalanche urges Alpine residents to fund a venture for drilling an artesian water well in Brewster County Texas. Subscribers commit to staged payments up to 10 000 authorized capital, with stock issued as milestones reach 400 400 and final well completion, in hopes of hitting water oil or a strike.
Alpine and Marathon notes show visits by ranchers and merchants, bakery ads, and deliveries.

Also references to baking, laundry, dressmaking, and a skating Passion Play event.
Emil Bohlen 28, cousin of Mr. Weverts of Alpine, was found dead by a mesquite tree along Verde Creek. A single shell fired from his 12 gauge gun caused a fatal head wound while he told his sister-in-law he would shoot a hawk. An inquest ruled death accidental.
