John a. Bunting, former freight brakeman

keeper of a railroad water tank on the desert
near Tucson. Ariz Then he was advanced, and
finally reached the place OF freight brakeman
He loaned friend $40. and took as collateral
in Kern County. The friend did not pay, so
Bunting sold the watch and foreclosed the
Kern land. He tried to sell the land. but could
not get anything for il. Recently oil was struck
near his place. He resigned and began to de-
velOp his property He struck OIL and now is
rated a man OF wealth.

Fillmore returned a reply that he was sorry
but he had no job as Bunting had voluntarily
resigned his place. Bunting sent back the
sWer that he wasn't looking for job. but
wanted to buy private car. Fillmore con-
graduated him. and advised him to order a car
with all tha latest Improvements. which would
cost him $4,000 and meanwhile rent a car
