Fragmented 1900s news jumbles spark odd local notes
A string of quirky items appears: Texas pecan crop failures. a supervisor spelling Lexes. a 60-year-old named Wachtel. a Brooklyn girl valued at a million. butter at 95 cents in Colorado. a Connecticut pedestrian champion. miners finding a large ruby in North Carolina. English talk of tired aristocracy in horse racing. Selma’s rattlemake claim. San Franciscans asking Have a snake. a London lady saving children from a runaway horse. a wolf in Louisville attack. Dawson Georgia residents clashing with possums. bustling Belle figures. Maramoth Cave depth explored by a Michigander.
