Ghosts on the gulf bridge and Lincoln tribute hoax
Fragmentary notes recount a superstition of Nickel Plate engineers who claim a ghost on the gulf bridge appears on moonlit eastward trains. The tale links the phenomenon to the church steeple alignment and a change in shingles. The piece also quotes an Oxford hall copy of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and remarks on the author Henry of Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station discussing ensilage and farming changes. It mentions Cadotta, the world renowned aeronaut, and Carlotta Myers plans, plus local notices on balloon ascensions, a canning company, and real estate ads.
