Lawyer's Bill Becomes a Punchline in Chronicle Snippet
The San Francisco Chronicle excerpt humorously notes a lawyer's bill as a string of charges from messenger to stamps and advice to sue. It recalls a long mill and dock dispute settled over its futility, then shifts to quotes from the Blanco Star Vindicator about press life and a chicken cholera cure endorsement from Bass & Bro. in Bonham Texas. It ends with a rural note: a Ravenna family names five boys Cleveland Hendricks Bayard Manning and Chenoweth after a late-night birth.
