Skiff Thief Shot in Moscow and Wandering Stranger Incident
Our Yesterday reports a skiff thief shot in Moscow from Mt. Vernon and only lightly injured. A man testing respiration outdoors unsettled pedestrians near the bank corner.

He blamed the hat’s absence on Morgan's saloon and called the bartender a liar after claiming to have been thrown down. A telegram notes Lawrence and Raymond Jeffries reached St. Louis by foot from this city on August 17 after a 38 mile day, planning to return by packet boat next week.
