Ostrich caper and frontier chaos in Woolleytown tale
The Woolleytown and Pike Street item recounts a wild yarn about chasing an escaped ostrich with Ben Stoffer and Judge Lewis, a polar bear encounter, a rope capture on ice, and a parlor of oddball deeds. The tale ends with returns to Denver and odd notes on pork shipments and a preachers’ marriage hunt.
