A Lie and a Lynching
The Springfield Missouri lynching case is revisited as the grand jury reports the alleged attack by two men was false and the woman lied.

Letters and notes from readers mix with odd fiction and satire
A collage of letters and fragments includes Josh Wise urging reader submissions for Star Dust, a dated self-made packer letter from Paria in 1996 with formaldehyde trust schemes, neighborly conversations, and a quip about two state senators and a doctor’s rent. The pieces blend literary and civic tones with local voices and curiosities.
