Woodpile defied by tramp then vanished from scene
A narrative fragment describes a tramp refusing to chop a tough woodpile, stealing spoons, and leaving the place forever. Nearby reports note a 14 foot rattlesnake near Brownwood Texas, high labor costs in the South, and odd anecdotes about food, manners, and remedies. The text also mentions Ayer's Ague Cure, promoted as a safe alternative to quinine and arsenic for fevers and malaria.
