HOOCHNOO (continued)

   12 July 1875, CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, pg. 2, col. 4:
(Should read "in the proper season."  I'll add another paragraph--ed.)
   It was first made at an Indian ranch called "Hoochnoo," in Admiralty Island, from which it took its name.  The indians soon learned the secret of its manufacture, and communicated the knowledge from one to another, until now all know it.

SHYSE

   OED does not have "shyse."  The HDAS stops at the letter "O" for now, but perhaps this helps.


   4 October 1875, CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, pg. 4, col. 4:
      _"Queer" People._
(...)  Three $5 bills of the "queer" were found on their persons. (...) On searching a trunk six more of the "shyse" bills were found.
