Frisby scheme proposes stock split and waterway venture
A fragmentary clipping reports Congressman Horace Frisby offering his wife a property settlement if she drops a demand for alimony. He outlines a plan to issue 250000 shares of Frisby Brewing with five shares to his wife and 245000 sold publicly at 54 each, plus water and storage projects across the Mississippi and Great Divide. The piece mixes odd details, satire, and garbled OCR text about stock, beer, and a monkey system, reflecting a chaotic historical newspaper snippet.
