Five Dollar Gold Piece and Sharp Shootout Scene
A colorful tale describes Potiphar aiming at a five dollar gold piece fixed on a post by Ben and Patty's wedding. Potiphar halts his shot, uses a knife blade to pin the coin to the post, sparing the piece from a bullet. The crowd erupts as the plan succeeds and Patty’s wedding follows. The text also offers brief snippets on a Glasgow bailie, a coroner inquiry, and a dentist ad.
