Boy Bandit Claims Innocence Before Court
George Van Horet, dubbed the boy bandit, told a city courtroom he had no more to do with crimes in Seattle lately than the man in the moon. He blamed others for recent robberies, admitted fear of being blamed as the fall guy, and said he would take a guilty plea and seek mercy. He was bound over to the superior court for trial on robbery charges.

The Telephone steamship, famed as a fast vessel of its kind, faces a troubled history on the Columbia and Willamette rivers.

A blaze tore through the Variety Iron Works, aided by strong winds and loose excelsior stored nearby. Fire Chief Cook suspects sparks from a passing engine started the fire, which rapidly consumed the interior before water streams saved the building.

Banks face higher tax on personal securities
The Star reports the board of equalisation will compel banks in the county to show cause why their personal tax assessments should not be raised. Plans aim to boost certain bank notes from 0 to 100 percent of face value, citing cash and assets as realisable at full value. Bradstreet Agency protests, claiming the articles are valueless outside the agency. Several assessments were increased, including items tied to G. Maloney and Herman Blumenthal, while others remain under advisement.
