Horseshoe Paramount In Glenwood Bar Contest
In Glenwood a casual horseshoe game unfolded on the west side led by retired farmer Younker and helper Reasoner. Neighbors Griffis and Fineran joined, turning the session into a lively, ongoing clash. Till and Ed, confident in skill, found the match oddly one sided and have since avoided horseshoe talk.
