Shorty’s Journey Among the Indians in Oklahoma Territory
Ed Schuster known as Shorty returns from Indian territory and describes busy plowing, growing corn, and active Wichita settlements. He meets Uncle Billy Boncomels at a large ranch, notes Wichita sports like Joe McNally and Colorado, and reports on the Purcell killing of Deputy U.S. Marshal McAlister by Cook, who was later shot at Albert. Shorty mentions a brutal scene, drinking to steady nerves, and a fortune in forty-red whisky on an old Oklahoma stage road. He says a big buck will arrive today for distribution.
