Taken off in my car for the 8 miles down
to O'Fallon, Mo., to pick up the medicine
the Dr. told us to get for my mother in law
without down in about 25 minutes and
started back upon the highway 40, to
return to my mother in law and the Dr.
with the drugs he had told us to get
for her. Now this is exactly what taken
place, we had to go south under U.S. 40

doing, as we came upon the state
making the turn the car lights headed

Now I am not asking no one to believe this, cause any and from would say, it is to fantastic, I am sure if some one came up to me with such a yarn, or what we saw, I would say he was crazy or hell, or trying to gain something through bad publicity, but I am sure we threw and sand and brand men, we hurt a lot in places no one else will go, or account of the ghost stories, but I am not afraid of anything, that is in reason, please tell if there is such a thing or not really new, we have neve
