Not A Minocaee Whiskey Gulch Murderer in Spokane May 1897
The Spokane police and local officials say Samuel Phillips, jailed on a murder charge tied to Whisky Gulch in May 1897, could prove his location in Spokane at that time. Letters from Spokane authorities describe wage records and a crippled left hand as potential alibi evidence, with support from local merchants and officials to clear him.

Dillon Hopes for Oregon Short Line Branch to Twin Bridges
Dillon and Beaverhead valley residents show strong optimism over a proposed Oregon Short Line branch from Dillon along Beaverhead valley to Twin Bridges. Engineers have surveyed the route, with officials visiting Dillon in recent weeks, raising talk of Dillon becoming a junction and possibly gaining railroad shops. The plan would trace the Beaverhead river water grade, reusing the original Union Pacific route. Meanwhile Northern Pacific’s recent branch completion affects regional traffic and local interest remains high.

Salmon's Hallucination and Plea to Dr Beatty
Edward Salmon, formerly of this city now in Butte, sends a letter to Dr T B Beatty asking protection from alleged enemies and urging action to stop the persecution during his periodic sanity breaks. He appeals to a Masonic connection, asserts coercion by unnamed parties, and requests names and aid. The Salt Lake Tribune notes Salmon claims two years of such episodes, while Beatty denies any acquaintance with Salmon. A telegram from Butte reports Salmon sane for two days before spells recur.
