Practical Young Man and a Water Keg Theft Tale
A Mississippi River era column details a humorous train encounter among farmers in Mendota with a bold confidence trick. A merchant is duped by a counterfeit exchange using a fake five hundred dollar bill, while another farmer tries to help pay a bill with dubious currency. The tale pans to similar pages on willful mischief and oddities, including a judge ordering the disposal of a keg of water alongside whisky in a revenue seizure.
