Rain, riots, and relocation in a noisy city column
A jittery assemblage of anecdotes spans a night rain, a Recorder sending a man to the chain gang for drunkenness, boatloads of Irish and Chinese immigration notes, a telegraph merger report, farm labor commentary, wedding notices, and local society chatter. The items mix humor, politics, and small-town events with names like Thaddeus S. Lane and Florence Patterson.
