A column rails at cantankerous politics and social folly. It questions Reno murder investigations and Custer, mocks governors, notes Leadville mine bids, lampoons whisky and TeLecxam use, critiques Zulu policy, condemns prison trials and tax costs, and derides tramp laws as New York and Nebraska push reforms.
A quarrel erupts between the Sidney Telegraph and Deadwood Enterprise over Captain Wessells, praised as a gallant commander of the Cheyenne campaign near Fort Robinson and wounded in action, while critics accuse him of cowardice and question his judgment. The Enterprise defends his bravery and experience, noting no evidence of cowardice.
