Denton Journal in Denton, Maryland

Immersed in a Frontier Night in a Mexican Town

A rugged lieutenant travels from a city outskirts to a ranch and convent beside a river. He encounters a mule train, a duen a, a veiled young woman, and a richly dressed man. A wagon master makes a bold bid for a kiss as onlookers react to the scene. The tale closes with a comic hotel clerk amid a distinct odor dispute.
