A garbled OCR slice blends diverse items from a small town paper. It mentions candidates, court notices, rail ads, local business names, and a long prose piece about social rules, manners and courtship, with stray scenes of mining, dairy, marriage, and a backwoods tale of Philo Barton and Jo in Wasatch country.
A Glendive area woman displayed cool nerve when her large eagle seized her neighbor’s puppy. She grabbed a shotgun and fired, apparently scaring the bird away as she protected a young poodle in a chaotic scene amid frontier life. The text also contains scattered biographical notes on Frank Harte and other unrelated items.
