Union Denver depot planned by major railroad lines
The Colorado Central Denver & Rio Grande and Denver & South Park railroads will build a large union depot in Denver on the site of the current C. C. depot. Montana miners arrive en route to the Hills seeking low-priced claims as navigation nears its close. A long, varied item list includes remarks on Indian leader Crazy Horse, Prof. Riley’s grasshopper findings, and local trade notes from Cheyenne and Deadwood.

Loveland forecasts Colorado Central rail line growth and water plan
Hon W A H Loveland, president of Colorado Central, predicts the line will pay from local traffic alone as settlements expand from Longmont to north of Cache la Poudre. A ditch from Big to Little Thompson, via a tunnel, will water 20 000 acres and support a depot at Little Thompson. Salt shipments from Salt Lake and favorable southern routes are key future freight, with the system to be independent of Union Pacific control.

Sitting Bull’s sharp reply to Gen. Terry’s proposal
The Chicago Times recounts Sitting Bull rising in defiance, shedding his robe, displaying a blue shirt and red banded neckerchief, and delivering a pointed, vindictive reply to the commission. He denounces lies, asserts the country is his, criticizes U.S. treatment, and then shakes hands with British officers before addressing his people.
