Anyhow. some one from Nelson's

what Nolan had up his sleeve got
around several days sooner than -ne

one of the first to hear OF II, and he
sent word to Tex Richard.
They say they're going TO make me

lace showed that no progress had been
made towards satisfactory solution
Of the difficulty.

This was also NOlan's stipulation He

barely a half pound. 1t was said that
he fashioned a pair Of ring shoes from

geration.
Here's where the real story begins.
1t seems that Nelson had almost an
