Escars or Parsonza and a Wild Escape from the Barracks
A Chewton police capture ties a robbery to Escars or Parsonza. The prisoner, forced to sweep the barracks, fled as guards closed in, sprinting up Argus Hill then returning to evade recapture. The chase exhausted the constable, but the thief vanished into a distant quarry, while a second suspect slipped away. A Redbank correspondent notes a mining rush at Fighting Sales, with ground yielding nine pennyweights to six tubs and about 300 miners present.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF A BOILER AND LOSS OF THREE LIVES
A boiler explosion at the East India Cements Company works on Specimen Hill killed three men and injured several others. Engine driver David Campbell and worker John Collins died instantly. a 19 year old boy named Arthur Stamers also perished. The blast destroyed the engine house and spread debris across the site, with witnesses attributing the tragedy to low water in the boiler and possible equipment flaws. An inquest held at the Eureka Hotel returned a verdict of deaths by severe skull fractures from the explosion and blamed either engine driver incompetence or thin boiler plate, or both.
