"Miss Rose bought the wagon from the driver 'cause he lost all his money on faro cards. He wuz almost hung for not honoring the house, then Rose offered him twenty dollars for the wagon and fifty dollars for the horse! Driver bought a bottle of whiskey and walked back to were he came from and with more money in is pocket than he earned in a month. Rose kept up the wagon by getting her 'Elgee' to look after it."
