On Overstated Library Sizes And Population Myths
In this critique, Spattard notes inflated numbers in ancient and modern libraries and population counts. He cites Nerxes and the 700000-volume Alexandrian library tale, argues such figures are exaggerated, and urges arithmetic scrutiny to avoid marvels that exceed plausible truth. The piece questions the reliability of famed counts and emphasizes undercounting and overstatement alike.

Camp Douglass Duel Ends With Wounding and Flight
A duel at Camp Dotuglans Salt Lake City left Captain Western severely wounded and Le Compte injured, the clash arising from an imagined insult to Mrs Lient. Western aimed to duel, got injured, and the case parallels Maxwell land grant foreclosure, where Frank R Sherwin bid $1,000,000 to seize two million acres in New Mexico and Colorado. The sale involved vital mines and Raton Pass, with reorganizational plans and Chicago directors named.
