The Will That Made a Sailor Richer Than He Seems
A dying seaman Mr Lister promises his estate to the ship cook after a quiet chat aboard the Susannah. The cook’s gratitude grows into a risky plot to speed his mate’s end with poison.

Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Hear Anniversary Sermon
The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Eugene attended service at Humphrey Memorial M. E. Church to hear Rev. Delmer H. Trimble deliver an anniversary sermon.

Cheshire reported 30 examined for a new militia company in Cottage Grove with 120+ applications, 65 needed for full strength. Linn Drug Co. promotes May Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea at 35 cents.
