A Chicago Herald piece recounts Choctaw Indians in territorial politics led by Governor Jones and tribal leaders in a fierce election over a railroad coal mine. It notes inflammatory tactics, bogus messengers, and a precinct with odd majority results.
A Detroit diner recounts a maker of an electric submarine light used on a Milwaukee area lake to attract bass. The device lowers a lamp from a boat, lighting a twenty foot radius to draw fish, enabling hookless catching with naked hooks. The tale notes timing and a curious sight of all fish wearing blue goggles.
