Bank Run and Outbursts Stir Town Turmoil
A bank faced a run after the owner refused a discount to a shaky citizen, leading to threats and a shooting that wounded Bill Scott. The banker brandished assets worth 12 000 and liabilities with six bullets, quelling the mob. Separately, cities close lodging houses to curb vagrancy, while Salvation Army proposals push farm colonies and vacant-lot schemes to restore order. Senator Ben Tillman’s publicized stance on reform is noted.

Grim colonial era hangings set as coastward warnings
The Pittsburg Dispatch recounts a grim practice where smugglers and criminals were hanged along coasts or at Dover castle and later tarred to last as deterrents. It notes executions such as three men hung near Dover in 1822 and John Painter at Portsmouth in 1776, with victims periodically tarred and redone.
