Arizona Kicks And Quirky Town Bits From 1902
A digressive column from Arizona notes Jim McCoy outrunning a fast avalanche on Dog mountain and jokes about Givendam Guich street lighting. It recalls a Chicago party failing to spark a streetcar push, saloons in Lone Jack, a cinnamon bear near Wolf Creek, and prospecting glints with 14 mines and 20,000 desert acres. The piece mocks local officials, techs a boast about 16 day Indian blankets, and ends with a grim quip about a missing son in a town graveyard.
