Remember When Excitement Over Found Horse and Panther Tales
A May 6 1899 news snippet recalls a mountain discovery of a riderless horse with bloodstained saddle blankets found between Hoffmans and Breuer's.

W Lundy and C E Huling returned from the Sixes mining district, sharing updates on the Harrigan discovery along Rusty Creek. The column also notes 35 years earlier a Marshfield resident praised Myrtle Point’s street life, and a gold mining claim near Dora by George Folsom after a chicken yielded fine gold in its craw.
