Classics Illustrated 159 The Octopus

 

The railroad opened the western united States to rapid settlement, but it was not all a blessing. To the ranchers who had to pay the prices demanded for the shipment of wheat, the railroad seemed to be an iron monster, an octopus whose tentacles would engulf them all in ruin. Bribery and corruption prevented them from getting justice in courts. The ranchers had no choice. They took the law into their own hands.
