From a mob tied Illinois case to cattle plague and mortgages
A long formatted set of items covers an Illinois death sentence amid mob society, a plea for local advertising, a 60 thousand dollar Guernsey herd hit by foot and mouth disease, and a vast New York Central mortgage. It also notes personal reflections on worry, library-like moralizing, and curious animal facts about toads and insects.
