Bizarre Capitol Entrance Sparks Swearing In Picked by Hunter
A man elect to Arkansas's lower chamber rushed to the capitol in hunting dress with rifle and bowie knife claiming he would be sworn in. He forced his way into the Senate chamber, threatened the presiding officers, and was eventually escorted to the proper chamber where he was sworn in after a confused scene. A later tale follows a widow and her son Henry, who dreams of monsters and a thread to salvation, leading to his conversion to the Christian faith. The piece closes with a brief note on a Pennsylvania House resolution regarding personal liberties and a venue change in Kane and Williamson cases.
