Duel Ends as French Percy Slays English Gentleman

In a moonlit garden the duel between Sir John Wilmerding and Dubarre escalates from a personal feud to a matter of honor. May Percy watches as the graceful yet deadly French officer, revealed as viscount Gaston de St Croix, defeats the Englishman with a swift, fatal strike, then proclaims his doom and surrender to justice.

Western Pacific building through eastern Oregon

Klamath Falls May 17. The Daily Herald reports possible hitches in a truce among Harriman Hill and Gould. A McCloud river power franchise bid by Gen Armstrong failed on a minor irregularity, with backers and aims still unclear. Rumors say Gould interests seek Klamath and a branch may reach here ahead of competitors. Oregon Eastern authorization surprised locals, with talk of Klamath river routes or Pokegama extension. Power plant near Spencer’s sparks speculation of a large sawmill powered by the facility. Bill McKinley arrested for drunkenness, fined $20 by Judge Dorris.
