Trial details reveal link between Gordon and stolen mine equipment
Witnesses testified at Morris Peterson's trial about stolen brass, pumps, and rigging from mining plants. Charles Breeden described finding a pump and boots in Gordon’s warehouse after追 confrontation, with Gordon claiming possession would be forgiven if no complaint was filed. Other witnesses traced a car of junk to Billings and identified brass fixtures and copper from the Butte Reduction works, noting prices as low as a few cents per pound.

Billboard Ad Critique Sparks Debate on Advertising Tactics
A Chicago era critique by J H B Fitzpatrick condemns billboard advertising as gaudy and deceptive while recounting a circus promoter's lesson in overreliance on outdoor posters. The piece traces a merchant's shift to newspaper ads and notes the economic impact, urging merchants to favor newsprint over billboards. It also includes a humorous anecdote about a family of potters and a skeptical circus owner, illustrating the perceived futility of billboard promises. The section closes with ads for clothing and goods from local retailers.
