face. 1t was like this, mr.. ed, about
three weaks ago about thirty of us
young bizness men started on a
/ junketing trip (something like Mr..
Laskers only we paid our own ex-
! penses) thru montana, yellowstone,
old faithful ate celsior going north
out of Blackfeet in a large aught to
mobeal and got just at the eye of
town and ran rite into sine in the
middle of the rode which it says
rode under obstruction" or some
/ big word like that and deture 13
miles. Well, mr.. ed, we detured
and detured and when we got waze
there was Teller blowing up the
deture rode and when he seen us ge
left his team and pillow rite in the
middle of the only aughto track
while he, no, visited with a kid.
Now mr.. ed. what | want to no for
