Two would-be burglars tried to pry into the Alexandria Washington lodge lodgeroom, seeking priceless relics and paintings valued over 100000 each. Night watchman John W.

The incident underscores the lodge’s fireproof burglar-proof measures and the memorial temple project in Shooters Hill. A separate report notes the death of C William Nolle, a soldier found near Hunters Station from a self-inflicted gunshot, with a coroner's verdict of death by own action after weeks nearby pursuing a marriage prospect.

Wind shift saves large area from fire in Winchester
A sudden wind shift saved much of Boyes Clarke county from a major blaze. Winchester firemen pumped town wells dry, two water tanks from Shenandoah dumped at Strode's store, destroying two warehouses and a drug store, with fences damaged. Most residents fled as flames neared before wind turned, sparing Norfolk and Western Station and plant. Fire officials and city leaders later discussed dynamite to contain flames before wind shifted again.
