Extra Crews Boost Passenger Service Across the Line
Three extra conductors Norris Conners and Grady now run on Nos 3 and 4 with A A Loeb added as ticket exchange and assistant conductor. The R and N system reports nine trains in Pendleton yards within an hour and heavy traffic on the mountain division to Huntington. Heaviest passenger business yet yields two regulars for Nos 1 and 2, and trains 5 and 6 now run with two crews each. A rare chaotic scene features Lena the elephant undergoing dental surgery after a forceful transport ordeal. A major forest fire in township 17 north of range 1 east has burned thousands of feet of timber, suspected arson tied to discontent with government fire policy. Authorities expect charges against alleged perpetrators.

Beau Brommel and the Brighton Episode of Bold Folly
English papers recount the eccentric Beau Brommel at Brighton's Pavilion who feigns humility, dumps an annifbox into a fire, refuses a ride with a stranger to Lady Jersey's ball, and makes a sharp remark about his dead parents. He later plays hazard at Brooks and wins twelve times in a row, pocketing a 25 guinea stake and boasting he will drink only his own porter. The brewer replies with a quip about London Mackguards.
