The charécarté party and missing sheriff tales of Cedar Rapids
Readers are treated to a collage of late 19th century snippets: a misadventure tale about a charécarté party foiled by its victims, assorted thefts of coats, stray cattle in Cedar Rapids, and notices of local affairs. Reports include walking feats, theater disappointments, public works debates, and a flood of small items from Lisbon to Worthington, all reflecting hard times, local crime, and civic concerns with a mix of humor and caution.
