Christmas Panther Reward Story From Western Paper
In a Western log cabin tale set before Christmas, Joe nine and Ruth six defend against a panther with a hatchet and a pistol after parents travel to town. The panther is killed, and a $1000 reward for capture adds a final twist to the brave children’s night. Santa Claus figures in the ending as a playful nod. The piece is attributed to Western Newspaper Union in 1927.
