A New York City Themed Mirthful Colony On Water
A curious feature describes a migratory city of canal boat residents in the Erie Basin near New York, where some 1200 boats house 4000 people each winter. They live without formal government, churches, or police, but maintain order and commerce aboard the vessels with boats serving as homes, shops, and salons. The piece blends satire with vivid details of dockside life and seasonal movement.

Wild Deer Lions and Hunters in San Pablo Canyon
Oakland hunters in San Pablo Canyon were startled by a buck and a California lion sprinting through the creekside brush. One hunter climbed a tree while the other fired a shotgun and both fled, as the lion and deer bolted in opposite directions.

Pomona Grower Reports Odd Triple Apple Crops
A Pomona fruit grower tends a dozen apple trees yielding three distinct crops: first ripe, second as large as a hen's egg, and third marble-sized. The trees flowered a fourth time but yielded no fruit. At Santa Ana, an apple tree reportedly bore fine fruit without a seal. A Denver paper notes a bizarre line about Count Von Hoeckel and a miner escape.
