Orlando J Dowd and the great western prank
A long comic tale recounts Orlando J Dowd from the east who settles in Montana and becomes the victim of a staged Sioux attack by cowboys. His employer tricks him into fleeing, Dowd fires on an advancing figure, and the prank ends with Dowd escaping to British territory and vowing never to return. The piece closes with moral commentary and quips from various newspapers.
