Speaking of cold winters, the
Weiser American tells this one
that happened 20 years ago: A
man by the name of Bob Weather
ford was conducting a saloon in
what is now the old town, but al
that time therewere no residences
or business houses in what is now
the new town. During one of the
cold nights all of Bob's whiskies
froze up solid. At that time a
daily stage line was in operation
between Weiser and Salubria. At
the latter place Mart Hannah was
conducting a thirst establishment.
Bob broke one of the frozen bottles
of whiskey, broke off a good sized
chunk, wrapped it in a piece OF
newspaper and gave it to the stage
driver, George Ingman, with in
structions to deliver it to Hannah.
Ingman placed it in his overcoat
pocket and when he arrived at
Salubria gave the package TO Han
nan, who thawed it out aud took
big drink on Wetherford. This is
just a sample of some of the stories
the old timers tell of cold winters
in the Weiser Valley, but We don't
vouch for the truth of them.
