Dines total nine thousand six hundred in jail term three years
The text notes sums of nine thousand six hundred dollars and a three year imprisonment. It then shifts to local anecdotes: a passenger ridiculing Iron Mountain depot, two young men drowning in the St Francis river, and various regional remarks about canals, a farmer’s suicide in Perry township, a farm sale in Casey county, and land grants controversy in New Madrid county.
