Popkins Hopkins Feud Ends In Matrimonial Settlement
A humorous Lincoln tale recounts bachelor farmer Popkins and rival Sallie Hopkins in a land dispute over a meadow. A deaf neighbor Uncle Ben catalyzes mistaken romance leading to a final hearing payoff and an elopement that dissolves the case. The couple wed with a Baptist minister, and the crowd deems them best at keeping secrets.
