Get His Fifty Dollars in a Topeka Tale
A Kansas tale from the early seventies recounts a traveler who lent fifty dollars to a desperate man in Topeka after the Chicago fire. Years later in Minneapolis the same man, Bonnie, reappears in a hotel asking to repay the debt, claiming the lender’s name as Wetmore. The narrator notes uncertainty over whether it is the same individual.
