A long, rambling reminiscence recounts a 1900 train robbery near Limon and Goodland where two masked men killed a passenger and fled only to be captured later. It blends travel impressions of Colorado and harsh moral warning with scattered notices about local accidents, drowned near a ford, and a violent assault on a child’s memory, all wrapped in a melodramatic, pamphlet-like narrative style.
