Romantic career of Walter M Gibson in San Francisco
The San Francisco Chronicle recalls the Hon. Walter M Gibson of Honolulu as an adventurous figure who sought a Pacific confederacy with a strong central government. A South Carolinian by birth, he lived a roaming life, sailed with his yacht and crew, was imprisoned by the Dutch in the Malay Archipelago, wrote of his prison experiences, and later prospered in the Sandwich Islands. He edited a Honolulu newspaper and pursued his dream of uniting the islands, returning east and south before resuming life in the Pacific paradise.

Deserted shepherdess with her goats found near Badger mine
A late 19th century report describes a wandering shepherdess among the hills north of the Badger mine. An elderly woman living with 800 goats, scant food, and three rough stone shelters was found by prospectors J. O. Martin and Jim McKnight Bird. She refused to reveal her name, but recounted how she survives on flour, beans, bacon, and the flesh of kids killed by coyotes. Her lone cattle and goat herd grew from two donated animals into a large roaming flock after her partner disappeared.
