A Fire in the ear and Yankee cider schemes
A vivid 1846 column recaps a Rio Grande prank where a Yankee sells cider at ten cents, sparking a cider rush and a rival bootleg counterfeiter as chaos erupts. The tale blends humor with frontier hustle and a second story traces a brutal murder on the Ohio River with a court case pending in New Madrid.
