Opposes Slaughter of Nevada Wild Horses Says Government Mistake
Maj. Burke, friend of Buffalo Bill, argues the U S government should not shoot Nevada wild horses in Lander county. He notes 15,000 to 20,000 ponies on nearby reserves and praises the best wild ponies as potential saddle horses, urging breeding rather than destruction to improve native stock.

Whisky Heist Hidden In Boonton Cellar Dig
Workmen enlarging the cellar of the William H Temple building in Boonton New Jersey uncovered four shinplaster coins and about a thousand dollars in coins stashed in a drawer. Temples family history ties the site to 1849 and a trek to California. Bottled whisky had been hidden years earlier during a prior renovation and was found along with the cache as plaster was removed. Boonton officials anticipate a wider search and a decision on the storied loot.
