Bride a Stowaway to Be With Husband
Grace McKinley Heidt, niece of late President McKinley, married Captain Grayson Willard Heidt and secretly joined him in the Philippines after stowing away aboard a transport. She adopted a uniform to slip aboard and shared water and rations with him during the voyage before the truth was revealed. The incident prompts a war department inquiry into the stowaway case. Glasgow reports reveal 18 of 52,493 children tested had eyesight under standard, with 11,209 showing ocular defects.

Girl and Bear Both Scared Near Sugar Run
Sadie McMackin, year-old daughter of a farmer in New Bergen district, spied a black bear in a maple grove while bringing home eight cows. The bear primed on his haunches, chattered teeth, and the girl fled toward a dugout shanty but found the door latched from the outside. Trapped in a dark cave for about four hours, she shouted but was unable to attract help until a search party located the cave and released her.
