Favor of Alderman Day Judge Harney’s Opinion
Judge Harney rules the district court lacks jurisdiction over the Day alderman contest and says the city council should act on the matter. The article covers related divorce filings, summons publication, mining case action, and a fatal explosion verdict blaming unsecured explosives. The jury found Nicholas A. Brewer died from an explosion caused by powder and caps left in a blacksmith shop near a stone quarry.

Death of 14 Year Old From Mysterious Blast At Timbered Butte
An inquest in Duggan's undertaking rooms investigated the death of 14-year-old Nicholas A. Brewer after a blast at a timbered butte cabin. Testimony by Bryan Morrison and George Brewer traced the accident to the boys removing blasting powder to blow a rock, with Nicholas killed by the ensuing explosion. The jury, noting inconsistencies in earlier statements, accepted the brothers' revised account and found no foul play.
