Rio Puerco station he asked the off.
Ger to get him a drink, and when the
off GER started for the ice cooler, Scott
took advantage of his absence and
leaped through an open window, the
tram moving along at the rate OF
thirty-iv e miles an hour. The off GER
appealed to Conductor Frost, who
Stacked up, and the train was backed
to the point where Scott had made his
leap. The prisoner was so thoroughly
shocked by the fall, that he could not
