He recounts a December 24, 1882 confrontation in the Jennings Hotel room with Captain Nutt and his ally, detailing a struggle with a cane and his claim of fearing for his life. The publication appears timed to influence the trial of Nutt’s son.

It is portrayed as a universal blight, not native to the U S but common in warmer seasons, feared as a foe of temperance and faith. The commentary ends noting little else is known about this ailment.
