The Ticker: Cowboy Sighting!

[I'm adding a new feature to this Sentinel blog. I subscribe to a Twitter feed called "Tweets of Old", which consists of snippets from old newspapers. I find it an amusing and educational peek into the past, and I'll share my favorites here as long as I think others are entertained, too! NNP]

"A genuine cowboy came in on the Union Pacific last night. He wore a $30 hat with a heavy silver braid resting on the rim." UT 1888
