Ramblings and Remnants of a Curious Town
A column recalls Matt Springman and a humorous tale at Arthur Goodin's parlors, plus a sign in Central Park that baffled locals until Mayor Lloyd Lytle explained it was meant to route Sunday evening chairs for church services. It also notes Dr. C A Boice receiving a Wyoming history clipping about Big Nose George, the outlaw lynched at Rawlins in 1881, with bones later found near Fifth and Cedar and the boot shoes reputedly made from the outlaw's skin.
