The Bystander Column On Cattle, Wrestling, And Governor
The column recounts Fred Randel helping with cows at Benn McCormick’s, a cow entering corn fields and leaving peacefully. John Ireland travels toward New York to witness a boxing payday in Omaha, returns to avoid paying high fight prices, and reads the paper for results. Josie Curn’s hogs with white neck rings prompt joking bets with Jim Gibbins, while Governor Bryan’s busy duties include gas, coal, and tax issues and a push to curb price manipulation and trust actions.
