Temple chief shot dead amid political clash
Police Chief Wiley Fisher of Temple was killed in Belton while standing with his wife and Mrs Burtchell's three children. Albert Bonds, opposed in Fisher's campaigns, drove away after firing three times. Witnesses note Fisher shouted to his wife to "look out" before a shove and the assailant claimed, "I have just bumped Wiley Fisher off."

Russian Crown Jewels Sold in Boston Fraud Case
Boston on August 21 reports price drops after three lots sold to Greater Boston tailors proved to be 5 and 10 cent glass imitations. Police say a traveler's accent and two accomplices sparked the jewel smuggling scheme tied to Maxim Bricker and several tailors in Roxbury and the West End. The scam collapsed as appraisals revealed quack gems and a Lynn tailor, Louis Rosenthal, found his cash register emptied and the verdict a mere 30 cents.
