Whenever he said he'd do any thing, he'd do it. But here not more than 10 days ago he was promising his friends when he came home from his deer hunting trip he'd bring them all some nice jerked venison. And he pops up home all of a sudden from the said hunting trip and never a chunk of jerked venison has a friend of his seen. It ain't right, Frank, to treat the boys that way. We understand what with the fire fighting experience the chief has had now, there Is some talk of mak ing him combination fire and police chief and Buck Hutton had better be looking to his laurels. When a man gets so he can fight fire like Chief Minto there's no telling where he'll get to in the fire fighting world.
