Blue Sky Rights Sale Tangles Nebraska Man in Missouri
A Nebraska man nicknamed Blue Sky paid $5,000 for Missouri and Kansas rights, gave $1,000 cash, and mortgaged two quarter sections in Republic County. James D Black, a Republic County farmer, confronted by a sharp deal, agreed to purchase the rights for $2,000 more than the initial price. The case sparked suspicions of crookedness and drew temperance committee actions and warnings to druggists about distributing information from the sale.
