II seems that the man In question

Monterrey approached him with a
beautiful little animal. a skunk.

inebriate. "A skunk. How muchee

This animal Is worth $50 at the

That's too much money. Any

Much argument followed. during
which the skunk-vendor pointed out

the Brownsville man denied every
thing. drinking steadily all the
while.
To make a long story short-the
local man purchased the skunk.
