No ashes fell in the immed

urday. It sneaked through
screen doors and windows,

ashes on everything.

Florida Mon
Paid to Stay
On Rockpile
Apple Valley, Calif. - (UPD- j
Neither rats, dust, sand, heat,
flying ants or boredom will
prevent a red-bearded Florida
man from staying atop a 60-
foot rock in the desert until
Oct. 4.
That was the vow made Fri
day by Jim Coble, 33, who is
being paid $2 a day to stay
atop the rockpile at . "Dead-
man's point."
Coble, a carpenter, came
west seeking work. Local busi
nessman Mike Dressier select
ed him to climb the rockpile
last July 5 and stay there
alone until Oct. 4.
: The stunt is to help enter
tain visitors to Dresslar's West
ern Village at Deadman's
point.
Coble raises the American
flag over his perch daily on a
flagpole he erected himself. A
cable leading to the ground
hauls up Coble's food and oth
er necessities in a bucket.
Visitors to the site, once a
raiding point for hostile In
dians who met wagon trains
on the old Holcomb trail, seld
om are able to talk to Coble
because their shouts are lost
in the wind.
