New York May 4 The $3,000,000 Charles M Schwab mansion on Riverside Drive is up for sale at 2,000,000. Some estimates peg its value at 3.5 million and the home is described as in superb condition. Schwab is weary of the long-building process and eager to find a purchaser promptly.
Special to The Sun from Boonville Indiana May 24. A Plymouth Buck hen named Biddy lays eggs unusually large and productive. One egg measured nine inches around and contained another egg with two yolks. The unusual egg formed three yolks in total.
A local report notes a half pound large egg among three displayed eggs. The largest egg appears enormous with a double yolk feature, while another is of ordinary size. The owner identified as August Hochemeister of this place.
Six men entombed in a flooded Swansea area mine were rescued after days underground. They reportedly carried the single horse they owned back to safety and left behind about ten bushels of grain and chaff. The pit was pumped out 17 days later and the horse emerged alive.
Mrs Ella Fellman of Sioux City Indiana joins her son in a local high school course to show the work can be engaging. She keeps pace with her son and hires help for housework while she studies.
An Easterner tours a Montana sheep ranch to explain scale and lifestyle. He describes vast, sparsely populated lands, rough towns, high prices for luxuries, and well paid labor including $40 monthly ranch pay and $50 cooks. The 17,049 acre operation sustains 15,000 sheep with six scattered herders and primitive housing.
A sheep herder moves a wagon house and a small flock of about 2.54 sheep with two dogs across grazing grounds a mile wide. The dogs round up dispersed sheep in minutes, and the herder endures loneliness while camp-tenders bring provisions. Ranch life tests endurance, monotony, and practical work, with the typical ranch hand seen as honest and hopeful, not a gambler or drinker.
The new Paris women's hotel offers rooms from $3.50 to $7 monthly. Kitchens are strictly hygienic and open to all working women. A ten cent monthly access includes a post office telephone telegraph reading room and garden with Paris publishers supplying books.
The Sun invites readers to place a free ten word advertisement for three days to rent a vacant room.
Dr. Herman F. Titus editor of the Socialist, observer at the Haywood trial, argues a conviction would harm mine owners. Titus, Harvard-educated physician and longtime Socialism advocate, edits in Seattle and Caldwell before returning to Seattle to report on the case and promote the square deal.
The Socialist editorial argues the Idaho trial of Western Federation of Miners officers is a proxy battleground in the capital versus labor struggle. It claims conviction would crush wage gains and union power, while acquittal would threaten vast mine profits and labor unity, exposing the high stakes for Standard Oil and two million workers nationwide. Herman F. Titus, editor.
