A Close Shave and Return Flight Through Danger
In a tale of frontier peril the narrator recalls a near-fatal illness after a long stakeout, a horse killed by drinking, and a dangerous return to Roswell. He reflects on risks in business and a sand storm on the Staked plain, concluding some dangers are not for sale. The piece then notes a separate violent incident at the Ga lax Fair Grounds with an assault on an Indian doctor and ensuing police action.

Wright’s Flying Machine Demonstrates Rapid Climb and Gust
The aircraft rose to 75 feet during the early rounds and maintained smooth flight for thirty laps before wind gusts from the west caused pitching. A strong gust near the forty-second round unsettled the craft, but by the fifty-eighth lap Mr. Wright landed safely after reaching 200 feet on the fifty-third round.
