Days Past: Gentle bull snakes bite into Prescott's 1921 financial difficulties

This curiosity prompted the Prescott Journal Miner to indicate they were trying to solve the mystery and noted that Clark's request had something to do with the Way Out West show that was scheduled for the Fairgrounds on May 26. An article in the Prescott Evening Journal revealed that the show was being planned by a committee chaired by Chris Totten, a local architect.
