Thwing, Eugene. Man from Red Keg. [†]$1.50. Dodd.
This tale of the Red Keg lumber region sets well into the foreground the villainy of a country editor whose vicious attacks and blackmailing schemes all but wreck the happiness of a town. The “man from the Red Keg” is one of the many whose reputations have been hammered and slashed by the odious editor of “Chips,” but who determinedly resolves to reform his enemy. He works out his metaphysical problem patiently disregarding the call of his fellow townsmen to deal with the offender summarily, bides his time, and wins his reward.
