Show Jones- RC 411 A I don't suppose there was a year that I did not ford it when we lived there. Q And usually you had occasion to go back and forth many times a year? A Yes sir. Q You have gone over the river on horseback, over wide stretches where the river had widened out? A Yes sir. Q What? A Yes sir. Q Where were those wide stretches? A Well, all up and down it; there is a mile or two there near Bluff where the river is spread out wide. Q Near what? A Near Bluff. Q Near Bluff? A Yes, some places it is five hundred feet wide. Q That wide- spreading has occurred since you went to Bluff, hasn't it? A Yes sir. Q When you first went to Bluff there wasn't any such wide- open space on the river? A No sir. Q Have you ever forded that wide space, Mr. Jones? A Yes sir. Q Now, did you ever ford that wide space in your life when you didn't have to go through water that was two or three feet deep 2377 |
