Notable Local Figures Stumble Through Curio Town Tales
Col Jim Godwin, visiting Canada with his wife, stirred quiet cheers for King George and muted silence for President Wilson at a Sidney picture show, prompting a bold quip about all Americans being kings. The piece then shifts through school board politics, tuition bills, and a Kansas City Willisea murder case tied to the Burns agency. Legal actions surface including suits over marriage breach, embezzlement in Clarindy, and an appointment to Hanoy by Governor Harding.
