John Hoey’s Nerve in Curious Early 1900s Tale

A Chicago style column recalls John Hoey and a comical trespass incident at Hollywood. Hoey, in shabby clothes with a fox terrier, challenged a gun-wielding sportsman who misread him as a laborer, then used the moment to test the man’s hammerless firearm. The tale ends with the sportsman vanishing. Scottish longevity notes and musings on iron’s elemental nature follow, alongside reflections on ancient civilization’s origins and humanity’s beginnings.
