Hercules Yager Tests Mental and Physical Abilities
A. H. Yager underwent mental and physical tests on Monday. He hauled two car loads of coal totaling about 93 tons and weighed 86 loads of about one ton each to the endshed of horses without assistance. He also helped audit lodge books that night as the coal trade reached $401.17. The aside notes humorously suggest Uncle Sam could find use for Hercules Yager.
