A Fresno incident reports a donkey fighting a bulldog over cockle burrs. The donkey, hurt but resilient, ultimately killed the dog after wrangling across a road and rubbing the carcass on a barbed wire fence. Other items note archaeological finds, cholera in Manila, and curious public notices.
A Fortnightly Review essay recalls Australian bushrangers as daring and inventive highwaymen. In Victoria they forged armor from scavenged metal while some bands plundered towns and banks.

Jim Blair of New Mexico recounts a snow bound encounter with tiny cliff dwellers on the Gila headwaters. The tale, supported by letters from Don Amado and other locals, describes three foot high beings, their cave homes, and music heard from a hidden chamber, sparking debate over truth and myth.
