Tax rain and political notes hit farmers in 1880s Kansas

It also covers an insane Richmond jail detainee, J. G. Carazisiz succeeding Senator Beck, Connecticut farm sale, Gretna Green licenses in Campen New Jersey, the Marquis de Leuville’s planned marriage to Mrs. Frank Leslie, and multiple legal and labor notes including a Joma Sheerry case, Knights of Labor vs. American Federation of Labor tensions, and a Louisiana lottery manager seeking an extended charter. The Goshen Donly life-insurance fraud case, a New Jersey farmer injury suit, and road safety damages are noted amid broader reform and political commentary.
