City Jay in a Heap of a Lamb Than Hayseed
An excerpt recounts a horse sale swindle where a buyer bought an $85 colt thinking it a good bargain, only to be fooled by a swindler who swapped two horses for the colt. The tale contrasts rough city versus country judgment and ends with a warning about chumps. Additional notes include a Mohawk chief quip about the Great Spirit and other varied items from period newspapers.
