"He's carryin' a shot-gun, and is a man twice as big as you." The editor considered his brief and as yet blameless record at the "Clarion." "Perhaps," he said tentatively, with a gentle smile, "he's looking for Captain Brush" -- the man temporarily absent from this very desk. "I asked him that," said the foreman grimly, "and he said he wanted to see the man in charge. We KIN keep him out. Me and him," indicating the expectant printer behind him, "is enough for that!" In proportion as the editor's heart sank his outward crest arose. He said at last, rising loftily, "Show him in!" "The Boom in the "Calaveras Clarion, "" from the days when a lead newspaper story might be answered with solid lead, is one of colorfully entertaining tales to be found in "Mr. Jack Hamlin's Mediation," by Bret Harte (1836-1902). |

Contributor Bio(s): Harte, Bret: - "Francis Bret Harte (1836 - 1902) was an American short story writer and poet, best remembered for his short fiction featuring miners, gamblers and other romantic figures of the California Gold Rush. In a career spanning more than four decades, he wrote poetry, fiction, plays, lectures, book reviews, editorials and magazine sketches in addition to fiction. As he moved from California to the eastern U.S. to Europe, he incorporated new subjects and characters into his stories but his Gold Rush tales have been most often reprinted, adapted and admired." |
