Tale of Wisdom killings divide Wisdom town
Local accounts split on the killing of Pyank McLlain by Lewis Cundiff and companions in Wisdom. Some call it cold blooded murder sparked by a drunken quarrel, others describe it as a dispute over a poker game and cashing checks gone wrong. Witnesses from out of town say the Cundiffs traveled from Kentucky, and ensuing tension cooled only after police captured suspects.

Death near miss for Butte couple in buggy crash
A couple narrowly escaped death when a runaway horse plus buggy left the road near Basin reservoir. O Reilly and Miss Sherman escaped serious injury, aided by a softened ground that cushioned the impact. The horse, spooked by passing autos, bolted into a 50 foot fall into an iron and wood wreck. They were later treated and taken to town. The incident involved Mr Hornbeck and others in a car.
