August 27 Saturday – Sam’s article, “How to Cure Him of It,” appeared in the Call. This “permanent cure” was for a barking dog and would make the dog “as quiet and docile as a dried herring” (a double handful of strychnine, dissolved in a quart of Prussic acid) [ET&S 2: 57].

Five other local articles in the Call are attributed to Sam: “The Fair,” “Arrest of Another of the Robbing Gang,” “More Hawaiian Donations,” “Who Lost Evangeline?,” and “The Forlorn Hope” [Branch, C of Call 296].
