Another Crawford document from my old paper research. Even though this transcription is decades old, these ‘newer’ editions of the Dodge City newspapers are yet to be digitized. Thus, my old handwritten transcription cannot currently be replaced by a digital copy and still has value even though my transcription is not a word for word transcription
