Inquest Finds Death by Self-Inflicted Wound
Wil Ernest died from a gunshot wound self-inflicted in Cleghorn after a dispute over a relationship with Annie Fuhrman. Inquests heard he had been dejected, had warned that the last sight might be his, and left home after a final departure from his employer’s house. Jacob Ernest arrived from Casey to arrange funeral, with services at Oak Hill cemetery conducted by Rev. Long. Ernest, born in Germany, was under twenty and had lived in the area twelve years with his father and three brothers in Causey.

Unclear 19th Century Fragments Highlight Pressed Topics
A garbled 1595 era newspaper fragment surveys agriculture costs and pests, notes about weed corn storage, and mentions shifting farming practices. It records prices for hogs and wheat, a Cherokee teachers’ meeting attendance, and local ads for buggy tops and dress goods, all in a stray, OCR-like array of lines.
Nast Declines 500000 Bribe to Aid Ring
A Broadway Bank official offered cartoonist Thomas Nast up to 500000 in gold to flee the country and abandon his anti Tweed ring work. Nast refused, saying he would not betray his cause, though the lure threatened his safety and mortgage. The ring’s power over judges and jurors was implied and the offer came with warnings to avoid danger. The story ends with a later reunion where the banker admitted Nast had resisted the bribe.
