A Jackson life insurer tried to sell a policy to a wealthy man, but the client balked at a $1,000 yearly premium, fearing free silver would devalue money and make such coverage unnecessary. The insurer pressed, but the man refused, arguing current currency risks and depreciation. The anecdote reflects local unease over free silver.

Heir to Fortune in Pomona Tale of James Sykes
The San Francisco Chronicle reports James B. Sykes of Pomona California is claimed heir to at least 275000 pounds from Elwood Sykes of Peterborough England. For forty two years he drifted across the western states living a roving life and in recent years has been a pauper in Pomona. A lawyer Knagh from China surveyed the case and found Sykes as heir to the English estate and the decedent died intestate in 1835 with no wife or children. The heirs in England include nephews and sisters, four living, with court division due next December.

Rained Fried Fish Miracle In Forest Fire-Era Kushequa
Remarkable tale from Kushequa near Bradford Pa after forest fires. Rain fell ending the hunger and fatigue of Kinzua valley residents. Fish reportedly rained from the sky landing on hot earth and embers, cooling as they touched ground. Locals tasted the fish and gave thanks while some doubt the story. A New York Recorder note explains cleaning seaweed for display, detailing a drying method.
