Nothing But Wind in Cheyenne Skycares Townsfolk
A windy Cheyenne day scatters school books and hats, twirls telephones, and carries odd scenes across streets. A girl is blown from Holt's corner, a man loses his hat toward Longs Peak, and observers note uprisings of theatrical props and crossed wires as the wind whirls through town. A juror joke and a baldheaded hat cap finally cap the day as the wind continues its random flight.
