In autumn’s chill, a traveler in a gray overcoat flees through dense pine forests after reading a post listing him as a murder suspect. He dodges pursuers, sustains a thigh wound, hides, and steals a horse to reach his destination, narrowly avoiding capture and reflecting on the danger of circumstantial evidence.
A Melbourne style recounting of a young man from Colorado who traveled to Prescott Arizona. He killed Idaho Jack after slapping him in a saloon brawl and left a note explaining he sought suicide and asked not to prosecute the other man. The town was shocked as money funded a coffin and headboard while Jack left town.
A collection of humorous snippets and dialect anecdotes from diverse sources. Includes tall tale humor about a man who eats off a shelf and a tiny man who must eat on the ground. Satires and quips cover letters, miscommunications, minstrel jokes, and gentle playful digs at social manners.
A Chicago observer cites an 1870s sea disaster where a first mate survives ten days at sea after a wreck near Portugal, recalls carving coordinates on a turtle moored to land, and ends with rescue by a warship. The piece also recounts two officers fleeing naked on horses from pursuing Indians, barely reaching camp and receiving aid from fellow troops.
A thin nervous man asks a pastor after a sermon about a killer named Abel, seeking to clarify that the man discussed is not related to a livery stable keeper near the grist mill. The pastor confirms the Cain topic, and the man exits with a polite farewell.
