A Friend of the Governor in the Junction Yards
In the bleak railroad yards a down at heel pair, Bill and Stubby Joe, share a fire and dreams of wealth. Bill, obsessed with fantasies of luxury, fixes on a governor’s imagined ball while Stubby reads a newspaper note about a governor granting bourbon to a friend, sparking envy and a failed toast. Later, Bill drinks himself toward ruin as Stubby watches, recalling the contrast with the bustling Busy Bee restaurant. Also noted: Edwin Tiflin's unanimous Ohio gubernatorial victory.
