Summary: This week we have the Idaho coal miners strike, the Dynamite Express, and the events that led to the murder of senator Steunenberg as a result. Then, Shane recounts the story of the (phony)Lord Barrington, and we discuss the introduction of the Federal Prison System in America. And born this week, Clyde Tombaugh, the man who discovered Pluto and called for a serious scientific investigation into U.F.Os. We also catch up with Albert Hunter and take a look at some odd stories that made the papers this week.
