The Musician and the Madman in a Mexican Town
A doctor narrates a siesta era murder mystery in a Mexican town. Alfred Ustedine, obsessed with mechanics and smoking, nearly kills the physician using a sun-driven firing device from a third story window. Amelia Henkel's father, a renowned guitarist, dies from a gunshot. The killer is Alfred, driven by jealousy and a planned alibi, with Rote freed but Alfred later deemed insane yet released for his mother’s sake.

Move to make county jail less desirable takes hold
The county commissioners authorize prisoners to work during sentences breaking rock with uniformed ball and chain. Prisoners awaiting trial or to the penitentiary are exempt. The plan aims to lower costs and deter petty crime, though it may reduce jail appeal for long-time inmates. News from Baxter Springs Kansas dated June 4 1906.
