WOLF RUN

Well, I've just knocked sight
of the ding-busted newspaper
yarn you ever heard tell of. Way
down at Wichita Falls, Texas,
where the Katy Flyer" huns
along the rails at a mile-a-minute
clip, woman claims she had a
vision of the Eastland steamship
disaster three weeks before it
happened. In that vision, the
woman claims, she saw the East
land turn over in the river, and
then she saw long rows Of corpes
laying in the norgue. Did you
ever hear the like? If that amt
the limit of any thing | ever
heard, you can have my right
arm for a Soda advertisement.
