Northwest Notes from a Fragmented Ledger of 1900s News
An assorted Nevada and Montana vignette runs through this patchwork of items: treasurer Max Siebert of Beattie and German judges amid a tangle of rail bills, with Spokane River grants and Yellowstone boundary plans. Health officials in River Don county crack a pure milk crusade as arrests follow. A train wreck near Verdi, Nevada and a carload of Willows en route from Yellowstone to Golden Gate Park perplex authorities. Fallon bank permit filings surface as W D Madenela plans refinancing. A poison-mistake tale closes with a San Francisco atrocity, and a string of court actions include Samuel Cohen’s gambling loss, George Platt’s murder sentence, and a Portland bank reopening as German-American. Several figures including Charles Anson, John Wetleck and EF Heppner appear amid political and legal turbulence, while a Montana-Wyoming Yellowstone boundary study and desert land issues hover over Congress.
