Elimination of Desperados Ends in Early Court of Lynch
In a southwest town years ago, Redheaded Pete walked in with money to hire Josh Scull to murder him. The mob raised funds, offered a bounty, and after Pete threatened to reveal the plot, a showdown occurred. Mattuck Scott and others staged a mock trial, then shot the two killers, and the village framed a makeshift Lynch court to justify killings, vowing to purge further lawless elements.

Work Horses Display Great Intelligence in Weber Canyon
Three Union Pacific horses named Keno Jumbo and Don have earned fame among workers for their ability to read track switches and stop safely. As 750 000 cubic yards of earth and 100 000 cubic yards of rock are moved for the Webber Canyon second track the horses anticipate blasts and follow crews to safety. Their conduct helps prevent accidents as the railroad carves a 60 foot grade per mile and a tunnel through solid rock near Sheep Rock Gateway Hill.

Meaning of Horse Power From Horse to Engine Strength
A historical look explains how horsepower originated from a horse treadmill and came to denote engine power. The term implies lifting 30,000 pounds one foot in a minute, though actual engines may vastly exceed a horse’s output. The language persists despite the concept’s drift from animal power.
Old Story Improves Diamonds From Chewing Tobacco
