WANDERING WALLACE
The Oregon Man With Two Children Reaches San Jose
A couple of weeks ago a man named A.C. WALLACE arrived here from Oregon
on foot with two of his children, a girl 4 years and a boy 7 years of age.
He said he was trying to get to Kansas City, where he had friends, and
wanted to get as far away as possible from Oregon, where his wife is.
He traveled with a small handcart, in which the children occasionally rode
when weary with walking. Wallace tried to ger work here, but did not
succeed, and concluded to push on, hoping to cross the Arizona desert when
the weather was cooler. A San Jose paper mentions the arrival there of
Wallace and his children. (Rest of article cut off my copy).

DIED
LEWIS - In this city, October 4th, Arthur S., son of Eugene and Evelyn
Lewis, a native of Oregon, aged 3 years and 5 months. [Pendleton, Oregon,
and Oakland papers please copy.]
