Born in the north Of ireland in 1924, Mr..
Bonner will be seventy years OF age on the

built, and under the average Insight, he looks
like man in the primo of life and his mind

on the mans head, and scouting parties, /

Cooper was hero and ideal to his equally

he wanted Dunk Cooper and didn't care
whether he was alone or not.
Cooper and his companion dashed up the
rough bed of creek, but about 2 mile beyond
the point where he was discovered, his horse
fell. Before the guerrilla could remount,
