In Wyoming

One John P. ("Jerry") Rusk, was a few years ago Speaker of the legislature of Oregon. More recently he has dwelt in Wyoming. Recently he ran for the office of county prosecutor in Weston County, Wyo., against one James A. Greenwood. The seasoned Rusk was victorious at the polls. But later he presented a resolution to the county commissioners declaring that Greenwood had illegally retained a typewriter and law books belonging to the public office. Infuriated, Greenwood, overcome at the polls but not overcome in the flesh, engaged with Rusk. Before one of Greenwood's lusty blows, the skull of Rusk fractured. Physicians shook their heads.
