A triennial conference of physicians and surgeons sits in session as the village of Comstock Wisconsin is reported totally destroyed by forest fires on Tuesday. A separate note mentions a 10 inch long fossil tooth discovery in Galesburg Illinois. Reports also note Blaina's political candidacy plans, a freight train wreck near Weet Plains Missouri killing a fireman and an engineer, two Italians resolving a dispute with a knife in New York, and Richard Holgerton's wife accidentally gave him carbolic acid for whisky in Independence Iowa where he died.
