Show 3382 Nims- D 1407 Stanton says, " Have you got a team" He says, " Yes." " Well," Stanton says, " will you take us to Houserock?" The man didn't want to at first. He said he was hurrying to get the cabin built before storms came up, and Stanton finally induced him, the next morning or the next day, to hitch up and take us over to Houserock, and he did. I will never forget that drive. Ran into a next of flying sate; they followed us for five miles. We got to Houserock, and Mr. Stanton asked him if he had a team he could take us to Kanab. He said he and a team of ponies that he was breaking. Mr. Stanton said, " Well, take us, and we will finish the breaking." He objected at first, but finally agreed to, and the next morning we started up the mountain for Kanab, taking turns riding. On the top of the mountain there the jack rabbits was so thick you could almost kick them. The cook picked up a clod there and knocked one over and jerked out his jack knife and cut off the ears and put them in his pocket, and the left hind foot. " Now," he says, " we won't have any more trouble." |
