__-I-__

The town of Castain Nebraska on the far southeastern side of the territory the town itself is about six in a half miles from the big city of Lincoln.
And the town of Castain has never seen violence it has been considered a quiet, quant, little town with lovely folk that live their lives to their own. On the outskirts of town is the farm of Mister Sterow who is good man god loving man who keeps payment of his taxes. And pays back his debts to his society, and they keep to themselves and they do have an one boy name William T. Sterow he works at the old Jerry's grocery market; and he loves that jump a lot of blacks though keep coming into the shop, and they buy their own supplies and some buy liquor but they don't care about the prohibition laws as some folk do. And he to goes to a speak easy couple of times with his friends so one just working sweeping out the shop he hears something going on across the street and he takes look over across the way and sees a girl with black hair with fair white skin that made look even more beautiful to him. Where the whitevmixes well with the outline texture of her womanly body.
And she had a black skirt with a blue blouse with a ladies hat on her head she was sitting in a Twenty two Jery Henry Ford with a v six engine with a hard stick shift. And when you shift it cranks and it makes a gritting sound when it does shift, and there was no a way around it. The car even had a cloth canvas roof top, and it was bright yellow coloring for the body. And where the glass window that attaches to the roof. And a man came out of the store across the street in a business attire and they drive off.

And Will turns away from the window and continues with his sweeping.
And so after his shift at the market he went home and he helped his pa out in the corn field working, and after that it was supper time. And after the same old routine fell to place, and on thevfatm sheriff B Wyatt came along a gritting looking grizzly man that had a tough upper body strength for a cow, and he had one the best shots in the entire county. As the sheriff he gets out. And walks up to the house and he puts his right foot on step Mister Sterows front patio, and he waited if you wanted to know. And Mister Sterow comes out and stands before the sheriff not knowing what this little visit was about. And the two look at one another like a viper to a mouse and they didn't like one another they don't hate one another they respect each other. And if it was about the boy his son Will doing trouble in town he ought to know about it, and that wasn't even why the sheriff was out and about that day it was till tell him that few folk in town started to mitter about few other things about what was going on.
They told a biggest secret was that the local speak easy Big Al sneaking illegal alcohol in the back of his business. And it appeared to be moonshine imported from Kanada. That little miles from where they are, and so the sheriff removes his white alligator hat from his head. It said he can kill many black and white folk who try to escape the prison camp that is down Duberry lane and little further south than the town of Castian itself.

"Mister Sterow I got to know
something about your boy?"
"What about my boy?"
"Will I am not here to make
anyone weary" "Then why are you here
Frank?"
"To tell you that your Boy has
spotted at that local venue in
town called big Al's, and he
was spotted outside drinking
illegal water from foreign
land you know anything
about this?"

Mister Sterow didn't know what to make of it he has to have a little talk with his son if this is true.
