Description
Photo image of scanned scrapbook page. Pictured is a typed page detailing "an unusual event." Apparently, a bet was made between two competing men running for an election. A. D. Miller said he would wheel Alf Scott down Second (2nd) Street in a wheelbarrow if the latter won. Scott ended up winning and, after much hounding from his friends, Miller agreed to perform the task.
