Magnetic powers rival Galileo described by Jamin

In a Paria Academy note M Jamin recounts a 1607 letter by Galileo describing a lodestone with powers to attract and repel iron at distance.

Folly of a Texas gang linked to Colman murder tale

A year ago near the Lafayette County line a stock dealer named Coleman was killed after bringing four men and a woman to a creek camp. The culprits looted his money and sold his cattle in Kansas City before fleeing toward Texas. The search has stretched over 4000 miles. May arrests of the woman, Lemons and Henry Norton followed. A broader gang allegedly numbering 77 operates across Texas Missouri and Indian Territory in counterfeiting and robbery. Jim Norton remains at large. Authorities plan a search for the body at the original camping ground and expect the arrest to disrupt the gang.

Language shifts in words and meanings through time
