Why, yes: you know when
we asked Moses to build this plant we
told him we would have a nice level
piece of soil, no stumps or anything
in his way, SO when | told him about
this lot he looked funny and | told him
that we would take the stumps out for
him, and he told me to get at it, so
took them out and ordered Mr.. Young
to get this dynamite and l sent John
D0nnelly down after it and gave him
his carfare, but the railroad company
saw John on the train with the dyna-
mite and stopped the train and put him
Off, and made poor John carry that
heavy box of dynamite right up the
railroad to the tin plant
