A Reno Gazette report describes a North Reno cemetery where Chinese graves are allegedly reopened to remove flesh, boil bones, and ship remains. A Gazette photographer witnessed open graves, torn grave clothes, and disturbing scenes, condemning the site as disgraceful to Reno.
A fragmentary piece mixes advice from a dealer on selecting a good horse with rambling anecdotes about breed, color, and conformation. It includes a cautioned look at buyers, notes about autumnal coats, and stray references to early 1800s murders and trials, ending with a stray remark about a young man growing a goatee.
A Baltimore Gazette correspondent writes of Mrs Mackay as a refined, young, and noble woman admired for intellect and gentleness. The piece also recounts a Friday afternoon Lynchburg to Bristol passenger train incident where a deranged mother abused a male passenger, attacked the conductor and a bystander, and was eventually put off at Wytheville after attempting to kidnap a child.
