The Charley Horse Saga of Warburton J Timmons
A humorous Clarksburg tale recounts Warburton J Timmons an Insurance agent who boasts of not knowing he has a stomach. After a long bout of misfortune and home remedies, a red hot corkscrew and a chorus of well meaning advisers, he limps to the office and faces a moral about avoiding treatment by going to a hospital. The piece closes with a wry moral and a 1925 copyright note. Harvard fencing dominance mentioned at the end adds a separate note about intercollegiate results.
