Red-headed Rooster of the Rockies sparks Utah statehood talk
Washington Post labels Delegate Rawlins the Red-headed Rooster of the Rockies after his Utah statehood speech, noting few knew him at first but all would remember him after. Other dispatches report a kidnapping plot in Topeka involving Ruth Clover, and a Brazilian outrage tale from Rio harbor with an American crew jailed and later released.
