Hanging over the bloody paper with Alf looking for spicy bits instead

of attending to the general public. Picture of a butting match, trying to

crack their bloody skulls, one chap going for the other with his head down

like a bull at a gate. And another one: BLACK BEAST BURNED IN OMAHA, GA.

A lot of Deadwood Dicks in slouch hats and they firing at a Sambo strung

up in a tree with his tongue out and a bonfire under him. Gob, they ought

to drown him in the sea after and electrocute and crucify him to make sure

of their job.[4]
