Show 6823 Wimmer- D 4812 ing on land and by water, which has been accompanied by the greater hazard. A The wagon haul. Q What is the nature of the hazards with the haul? A Dirty Devil river was our trouble; we had to ford it with these loads; at one time the boys got first in there, had to go off and leave their load in all night. Q Those roads sometimes get in bad shape? A That was the river. Q I say, do the roads get in bad shape? A They are always in bad shape when you can only load one thousand to a horse. BY THE SPECIAL MASTER: Q Is there any road, to your knowledge, from Hanksville to the junction or from Greenriver to the junction? A No Sir. BY MR. FARNSWORTH: You may cross examine. CROSS EXAMINATION BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q Mr. Wimmer, in the operation of your boats on the river, how many times have you been in the water to get off of sandbars? A Not very many myself, sir. |
