Funston and the runaway engine rescue tale
A Kansas anecdote recounts General Frederick Funston in Downs aiding a runaway engine. He climbs to the water tank, halts the train by throttling and braking, earning an annual railway pass. The piece then shifts to a 1880s Kansas election night near Little Medicine, where Bill Hickey arrives with the dawn tally, amid heated partisan suspense and unexpected outcomes.
