Show NEW YORKERS PERIL WITH OGDEN MANIACS Weird Tale of a Gothamite Who Went Camping In Ogden Canyon and Was Nearly Crazed With Fear The following story of his experiences is given a related by the victim ot he practical joke of a crowd of Ogden men He was a New Yorker and lad possibly nettled the Junction City gentlemen by the Fifth avenue airs which he displayed Or possibly it was his constant relations of summers in the Adirondacks and winters in Florida that inspired them to his undoing At any rate they planned and put into successful execution the huge joke that is told 11cre They simulated intoxication to excuse some of their vagaries and to terrify still more the tenderfoot victim of their machinations The Incidents related occurred several weeks ago I cannot believe that my experience bas been duplicated I have often read of Isolated cases in which men have undergone critical experiences at the hands of maniacs but nearer where the ordeals described have succeeded each other with a rapidity that permitted no ret whatever for more than seventy to hours I remember that three days and nights were EO spent by me only because of an escape from the succession sion of dangers and deviltries through which I have passed and my arrival back among friends who told me the length of time I had ben gone In reciting some of these occurrences I shall make no effort toward succession of happenings or relation to time Each dastardly act either of danger or insult in-sult stands out singly and alone and needs no refreshing from sequence a refreshing that would be valueless to atempt because of the continual agitation agi-tation of the seventytwo hours and the exhausting nerve strain I was under un-der derMy name is Rankwllt I am 4i years of age well preserve of medium height and strength ta from bad looking look-ing not deficient in personal courage I think veil born hailing from New York City and of association and training to carry me under all circumstances circum-stances as a gentleman familiar with the demands imposed by decency upon all claiming to have good breeding During the past year my business ha necessitated a continuous residence in Utah Here1 have been in daily association asso-ciation with the most respected and most InteJllKert portion of the population 4 popula-tion of that state I had occasion to I spend some eelts in the city of Ogdtin in close proximity to which is a canTon I yon and river bv the same name as the I citv one of the most romantic wild I and at the same time attractive scenes of nature It has been my good fortune to behold Opening out from the head of this canyon is a small valley on all sides hemmed in bv mountains that rise higher and higher above each oth c and into which streams pour from many points and out of which still other canyons than that of Ogden ooen i By what I deer several of the most respected and Intelligent gentlemen I gentle-men of Ogden I was invited to become 1 one of a nartv to spend a week hunting i and lishimr in the mountains east of I that city I nromised a new experience experi-ence To my dying day I shall regret that the invitation was accepted with i a palpable sense of gratification for the opportunity I thought so generously 1 accorded to meA I me-A Preliminary Scare The warty consisted of a doctor two professors a druggist a prominent business men the proprietor of the best restaurant in Ogden myself and a man to care for the horses The restaurateur restau-rateur mae provision for the food outside out-side the fish and game AO were t provide vide for ourselves I was warned that rattlesnakes were very numerous in the canyon and knowing how venomous venom-ous is the bite of these reptiles I rejoiced re-joiced that a antidote said alwaysto be effective had been liberally provided I was whisky Snakes have been a terror to me always Our party was to travel in to con eyances I wa pleased to be allotted to the vehicle to carry the doctor druggist drug-gist business man and myself The business man whom for purposes of identification I shall designate as Josh did the driving The doctor called Doc nom a disposition to economy in speech an economy manifested mani-fested Jn no other direction within my knowledge sat beside him while the druggist who was dubbed Sid with myself occupied the rear seat of the fourpassenger vehicle We were preceded pre-ceded by the restarateur called Gus re uC L1lc JJlc vr nUl Ul U lUC IJU fessor and the driver I know not what course may have been pursued by the four in the other vehicle but the doctor declaring that prevention being u vastly safer medical medi-cal oollcv than cure however successful success-ful the cure advised that we should be wise and become so vell I inocculated with the antidote that the bite of a rattlesnake must prove ineffective Feohnsr that I was in the company of genUemen and Josh and the druggist drug-gist declaring they knew from personal experience the wisdom of the doctors advice I cheerfully acquiesced By the time we were ready for the start I can truthfully say we were fairly well antidoted Ah me How fortune wreaks vengeance ven-geance on the not her favorites Had business not called me to Utah I had not been in Ogden Had I not been in Ogden there would have been no invitation in-vitation to a mountain trip Doc Josh and Sid had been unknown and I had not been elected1 accompany accom-pany these three inestimable worthies in their vehicle while there would have been no need of an antidote the effect of which on thpse otherwise perfect gentldmen Was vastly orse than the most violent poison since it made them not Idiots nor fools nor drunkards drunk-ards but wijdezed maniacs The Opening Entertainment I ore now to a recital of the happenings hap-penings of this most awful trip Off at la Josh tng as driven He blandly asked me if 1 I had ever taken such a trip before Sly reply was a negative one He then told me I could get on this trip no conception or the difficulties encountered in traveling trav-eling through this country early days even in themost favored sections He stated that for seven years he had driven stage and as he was reciting the hairbreadth escapes happening within his personal knowledge we approached ap-proached a church in the course of erection on the street before which lay a pile of granite rocks thirtyfive to forty feet long twenty feet wide and perhaps five or six feet high You xemember we were still in b den City His eye lighted with an excess of antidote taken rested on this gran itepile He turned to me and said he i would give me a slight taste of the obstacles ob-stacles facing 0 driver when he was in the stage business Despite my protests pro-tests and pleadings he laid his tvhip upon the reluctant horses and forced thC over the granite pile lend wise and at a speed that seemed a bid for sure destruction that ought to have met with a response equal to the bid How under heavens name we ever got over wagon hone and animals whole I cannot conceive I must have been due to what I shall call by way of paraphrase antidote luck For a mile and a half or two miles after this all went smoothly and well i a little too rapidly More antidote was taken and though I was conscious that more than enough had been consumed con-sumed still I took my share feeling that if I failed to do so that the effect on the other three ot the nortion that would naturally fall to me would result h in other demonstration imperiling not only my own well being physically but that of my companions But to no purpose P pur-pose I teemed that the antidote acting act-ing differently on the others from the effect it had upon me not only made i them more wildly determined but rendered ren-dered them absolutely Insensible to the J most violent and Imminent danger for no sooner had we reached the brow of the hill down which a dugway runs V that leads to the river and therefrom the canyon at the end of which was pur destination than Josh threw down the lines grasped the whip plied it on the horses while Doc crabbed his lap robe waved i in the air and joined by LSid l three yelled like Incarnate demons until the horses goade by pain of the whip and maddened mad-dened by fear of the robes and the yelling dashed with a fury ungovernable ungovern-able down the dugwav while I sat crouched in fear and terror convinced unconsumed by i with what sense I had I dread that sure destruction faced all each second Yet no injury befell adjust ad-just before we reached the bridge that crosses the river Josh reached down grasped the reins and exerting the whole force of his body checked the yet dashing horses bringing them to a stand so suddenly a to throw us all in a heap while the poor animals stood panting for wind and sweating with fear and exertion Swam the River We were now on the approach to the I bridge almost touching the bridge in fact This apporach is made by lining the side In dirt and lifting the grade of which slores to the river bed at an angle of not less than forty degrees I is twenty to thirty feet high No bet tel or safer crossing was ever built than that facing the team Yet this maniac Josh pointing to i with the whip said I never cold drive across a bride and with 3 sudden jerk and before a protest could be uttered and with a lash of the whip turned the I horses so sharply around so as to almost al-most upset the vehicle and dashed down the embankment and unto the river with a wild yell that was fearful to h a I do not know the depth of the stream but to the excited state I was in it seemed fathomless J had seeme fathomes I I endured all I could three times my life was in jeopardy in thirty minutes I I and approaching a fourth and as the horses were being forced deeper and being force I I still deeper into the rushing river I swung out of the vehicle into the I stream and hastily wading to the 1 shore hid myself in the high brush bordering the river determined when I the wild beings had departed that I I would walk back to Ogden returning thanks at having escaped so happily not to say miraculously I heard the wild and threatening shouts of my deserted companions as I I they saw me making for the shore and dive into the thick brush I heard the horses plashing in the stream I heard I I the whip plying I heard the horses reach the bank having been turned in the stream near where I was secreted and then I heard the bush breaking near me and then the heads of the horses were over me The crazed beings had actually forced the poor beasts through the tall thick brush to where I was in hiding and to keep from being trodden under their feet I was forced to arise quickly determined however to make still another dash for freedom and from danger But as I arose I heard a voice yell loudly and with anger an-ger ° Stop I turned and saw a double barreled hairtriggered shotgun in the hands of the doctor leveled directly di-rectly at me His eye was wild I dropped to the ground and just a I did so a shot rang through the quiet evening air My presence of mind had this time saved my life I was commanded com-manded in a voice In the tones of which there was no uncertainty to get bach into the wagon and to get back r quick You will readily believe my assurance that I got back in the wagon Then the horses were driven across the stream and I sat silent watchfully with dread in my heart not knowing what new deviltry was being conjured up dened in maniacs the brain of the antidote mad An Hour of Horror I The next hour was one of unrelieved horror for no sooner were We safely escaped one fools trick than another infinitely I in-finitely more insane was undertaken The drive > Ogden canyon is smooth and even I follows the windings of the river and the road is banked rver against the angry waters bya rock retaining re-taining wall often thirty and forty feet in height The precipitous mountains shrub covered and densely timbered at their greater heights pierce the blue vault above and from which dizzy height the river and the road seem Ilk twin threads winding through the little slit beneath Yet the road is absolutely safe with a team not actually driven to the danger point Urged by Doc and Sid Josh continued to give evidences evi-dences of the skill acquired by him a a stage driver in the earlier days First he would drive one hind wheel over the embankment then he would run tho front wheel over and we were only prevented from going to the river by dodging first from one side to the other of the vehicle and by hanging far out with our united weight until Lie horses had pulled the dropping wheel back onto on-to the level road again Then Doc would dare Josh to drive up the mountain and along it side How far all told we rode on the upper side of the wagon our weight thrown far out the good Lord alone can tell yet we did not overturn or our mangled bodies would have been picked up on the road or on the river bottom Perhaps the Lord in his infinite wisdom had still si some work for these antidoted maniacs to perform There was no challenge of the skill of Josh too daring for him to accept all of which deepens my conviction that the animal which the Savior rode on his entryinto Jerusalem Jeru-salem was named Josh Yet in spite of 1 we reached a rest ing place in the canyon known as the Hermitage and had broken only two wagons Many times had I determined to mae another dash for liberty but Doc seemed never to take his eyes from me and he never let the gun out of his hands So I remained Not wishing wish-ing to further harrow the feelings of the reader with a repetition of wih repetton occurrences occur-rences so damnable in their foolhardiness foolhardi-ness as to seem impossible of performance perform-ance I skip detailed reference of the ride through the beautiful little valley of Eden of the rich sunset that glowed like living fire through the clouds banking the western azure of the cool winds fanning all living things wifh a life giving freshness and a breath of new mown hay that carried me away from the agonies immediately past from the sorrows the joys the good and the evil of intervening years I away even from the fears and hopes of the future and wafted me once more to the days of yore when all the world was light and life eemed an Eden of beauty and truth Long ago long ago ah long ago A Dreadful Awakening From this brief and blissful reverie in which all the strained muscles and fixed nerves had relaxed I was awakened awak-ened with a wild yell a tearful dash a splashing over me of cold water the tearing of my clothes and the scarifying 1 scarify-ing of my face with the brush and branches overhanging the stream we had rushed through a though possessed possess-ed by all the witches that were after Burns ain gray m3re Meg and I was abruptly told to land at Camp Ease and offer thanks that I was once nlofe I on terra cotta No one can conceive with what illimitable illim-itable volunrf there swept through my heart the grand sweet song of joy that I was delivered from my perambulating perambu-lating goal and that Doc had laid aside the gun and removed his ever watchful eye I was la Our friends in the other conveyance had preceded us with the food bedding beer an some antidote A fire was burning brightly and warmly warm-ly brightening all around I was the supreme moment when nature man that melancholy pause Her breathing moment on tho bridge where time Of light and darkness forms an arch sublime sub-lime Jaded with excitement passed tired with over exertion to perserve myself whole in life the odor of the cooking food rose to the nostrils with a grate fulness more potent than incense to to the religious enthusiast How quickly the demands of one sense removes all fecllns excited by another no longer dominant I almost al-most rejoiced at the agony past in the luxury of gastronomic joys approaching ap-proaching I was very hungry and a renewed dose of the antidote banished all remaining alarms and quickened every well aroused demand of nature for food We sat Turk like or tailor fashion around the table cloth spread on the ground tho food well cooked and tempting the cool winds sighing through the underbrush around us I the rising moon splintered into moving fragments of burnished silver by the swaying tree tops that pierced the darkened ether above Here was joy at last Doc was still Beside him was a two pound brick of hard butter buter golden in the intermingled light of the roaring camp fire and the rising moon Someone said Doc pass the butter Doc looked up He arose his black beard heighteningthe palor of his fat face his tall spare figure sllhoutted against the moonlight He lifted his long foot clad In a clod breaking boot set it squarely on the brick of pure butter pressed down his foot then strode around the table cloth Inside the circle planting the buttered foot on the cloth in front of each person leaving there n blotch Gf grease and then sat down saying Help yourselves your-selves its too much trouble to keep passing things Was No Gentleman As I have already said I am accustomed ac-customed to the society of gentlemen and this discourteous not to say outrageous out-rageous act well nigh took my appetite away But Josh and Sid gave approving ap-proving laughs while on the part of the other there was a volley of disapproving dis-approving expressions the character of which may not be repeated but these were wholly for the loss of the butter For myself my Indignation at the affront was too deep for utterance Then It I was I learned that the rattlesnake rattle-snake like a beast of prey is active only at night These men knew for they ha lived among rattlesnakes all their lives more or lessand I take this occasion to refer to the mass of erronous information contained in works accepted a authority on subjects sub-jects I had tried to post myself on snakes as soon as I determined to make the trip and in all the works examined by me It was declared that snakes moved but little if at all by night Moreover it is very cold in the mountains at night and having no tents up we built a large camp fire that would burn well into the morning and rolled ourselves in blankets for rest But the warmth of the fire attracts at-tracts rattlesnakes and the danger from them in securing to ourselves the comfort that fire gives was therefore there-fore greatly heightened This all present save myself and knowing nothing personally I was dircreetly silent agreed to Hence by common consent a potent and lasting dose of the rattlesnake antidote was taken by all Ah what a spell of bliss followed My blankets were laid upon a deep bed of fresh hay the earth beneath the hay The tall trees waved their tops gently above the wins sighed softly below the fire cast great and moving shadows over all its cheering glow making more weird the darkening darken-ing spaces that reached beyond its power to penetrate With limbs stretched out and the restful sense of the antidote numbing my tired nerves the odor of the fresh hay mingled with the pugent odors of the new woods filling all my being with delight I lay upon my back and looked far up Into tho cloudless dome above Serenely Serene-ly and in the midheavens the full moon swept over and a I gazed farther and still farther into the fathomless depths beyond and worlds upon worlds spread before my quick card sight the soul seemed to burst I its earthly cerements and foW Into the boundless depths above bearing all that the heart could long for all that the heart could hold along with it until earth and its burdens were forgotten for-gotten and peace eternal and lest forevermore for-evermore were raina No Midnight Ravelry Then I was jarred awake The moon was low in the west the fire was now dull ashes and swiftly leaping around the circle of the sleeping bodies that like the spokes I of a wheel lay with their feet to the fire as the hub was a tall gaunt figure robed In a blanket with hair streaming and unearthly yelte breaking from a throat tat seemed Impervious to i wear or tear On each sleeping I body It tee J jumped and yelling as it jumped exclaimed ex-claimed in a voice lied with command I still flying rournl the circle of writhing forms Wako up and take my time Im breaking the record I was Doc That broko the rest for this night I sleep was attempted by any one save the three maniacs he would be wakened by the burning of the bed under him At last I got up I had no need to dress No ore undresses I was too cold and there were others reasons The tire was renewed and the snake bit antidote an-tidote repeated 1 complained ot the dirt in my bead The doctor offered to sham POt we He said he had been a barber before he became a doctor a statement I have jiot the slightest reason to doubt and that he could shampoo me out of sight another assertion I had no reason to question since he and his pals had already snce out of sight once without with-out so much as a shampooing Despite the repeated urgings of the doctor backed by the recommendation t1e Josh and Sid 1 declined Now Gus the restaurateur having a taste for the good things of life had provided pro-vided himself with a bottle of salad dressing the principle ingredients beIng mustard and horseradish While napping nap-ping before the fire waiting for the morning morn-ing to break and not daring to go to sleep I was suddenly seized from behind and held firmly Mj hat was thrown oft and Doc began dashing great gouts I of this salad dressing en my head Ilerce ly lgba it into my tender skin My eyes I dared not open my head began to burn with the mustard and horFanid Ish Gus also aroused and seeing his beloved salad wisted on me ran toward the trio having me In handJosh Doc and SId cxclalmlns in his Gasman man accent Vat i Is Vat It Is1 Then m was released and he was seized and shampooed and so a third Then we were 1 lead to the stream running ice cold water and told to wash our own heads We did sO mid smarts and oaths and revengeanus swearing Then the voice of Gus was again heard over all exclaiming Here you guyses brink me a towel mine head to put arrround Viol you dink Its hold aind id you succors Morning came at last and its promise of peace after such a night was ever morn made fair Despite the unrest ot t night following the palpitating events of the day preceding we were hungry and a lino hiKU had been prepared for us I 1no F hungry for you will remember that the butter episode of the evening b fore had left but little of what was once a most fflslnatlng appetite And as 1 cow recall events It seems I was the rcal fventS I sems especial es-pecial object of tho attacks by those three frenzied beings Doc Josh and Sid No Breakfast We were seated as before talloriiie on the grass about to begin when Doc ttiid I One moment gentleman I have a little delicacy that I cannot share with all but which I think our esteemed friend from the east would appreciate While peak ing > ho reichediovcr and seized my plate arose walked over to ono of the horses lifted the horse blanket but tho plate I against horses stomach tied tho blanket again and then tried to catch a grasshopper ga hopper Failing In this he came back took my plate from between the blanket and the horse and handing i back to me with great politeness remarked I regret re-gret not to have been able 0 hive secured se-cured the grasshopper but as our guest i r i after all an advantage to I fi which warm you a entitled

previously been subjected that it was not possible for ontj rai < as1 I had been to display the repugnance occasioned occas-ioned by the well intelde but to me disgusting act So I said nothing and Teat T-eat no more than I stud lothnsfnd When after having eaten what they wanted Josh and Doc took 1 tle bread liere was left and threw thd l a sin s-In the stream leaving us without bra or flour and fifteen miles frost any pWce > where either was to ba had I could 1 restrain re-strain myself no longer and remarked that in my humble opinion it wOUld become be-come all to try and b gentlemen n < mater how painful I still doubt If this rebuke severe as it wdsv mad < any impression on their antidote begotten brains For myself rattlesnakes had well nigh lost their terrors in th agontf endured en-dured by the mama actlQns ofi the in vinclbte three I was proposed by Josh Doc and Sid that they should go back to Ogden and bring up more bread and butter and salad dressing on their returns While we hailed their proposed departure with delight deJrtur light and urged them to go I protested against any more salad dressing On this point I was adamant They began making ready their horS snow s-now hitched to a farm wagon because of the breaking of thfe WEou and spring ghJ rda Qs wagon as I had already told We made permanent arrangements for camping1 A tire place was built tents erected ana like details e tltJ putting the finishing fin-ishing touches preparatory to seeing the three of we heard frightful yelling then came a terrific crushing of twigs and a second later a pair ot horses nurnesssfl to a farm wagon dashed through the heart of the camp knocking down our fIre place tearing down the tent and disappearing dis-appearing in tho brush as though driven appearing furiesPags of Hunger Some five minutes later Josh and Doc appeared blandly Inquiring i W6 had seen th Jr team as It hud runaway run-away and then looking around at the wreck asked i we had been having a freeforall fight I cannot help believing they wore at the bottom of even thla desperate affair desperate des-perate since one or ep might 1 have been killed and that they were lying In the wagon box at the time the team dashed with such destructive effect through tho camp But they were off at last We breathed easier and began to repair the damage done by the socalled runaway In such occupations we spent the time tU evening growing hungrier as the hours lied You will recollect how little I had eaten up to this time dh the reasons for my abstinence c absti-nence Moreover I was in such a state of nervous excitement to be dreadfully in need of n stimulant yet for fortyeight hours I did not dare to touch a drop of liquor not knowing what the consequCnces might bo were I to become as Indifferent to all results through the taking of the stallng tf tfl antidote as were tho others Famished and almost despairing of tho coming of the absent ones they linally dasnea through the camp their team dripping drip-ping with sweat their own eyes glistening In the light of the campllre with enthusiasm enthu-siasm born of excessive stimulants Heres your stuff cried they and placed plac-ed on the ground seventytwo bottles of beer flO worth of giant firecrackers twelve inches long and 10 cents worth of brand br-and butter With which to feed six starving ing men And I was hungry Yet what I did get was not rendered indigestible by the kind offices of the uncultured doctor And I was wearied and bethought me of n quiet little spot on the bank of 0 dry branch of the streamthe bed lying some five feet below the bank yet not far from the camp and I determined I would take my blankets and He there I mIght not sleep but I could be free from the constant con-stant strain of anxiety my recent hours lau been unuer Ho J quietly hid myseir I could hear my companions inquiring for me and wondering where I had gone particularly par-ticularly the doctor who had taken an especial and most unhappy and unsought for interest In my welfare Have you ever slept on the ground If you havent you can get some idea by lying for a night on a clod field ploughed twelve months before be-fore and unharrowed or better still try and accommodate yourself for a nights sleep by lying on a layer of bottles and struggle to conform your anatomy to the various concave and convex dispositions of your bed But I had banished fear That was joy Tho nervous strain relaxed e Nature would have her own and I slept How long I had thus dreamless lain I cannot say 1 became conscious again and heard the branches parting and the breaking of dry underbrush near me beneath n heavy tread Alarmed I lifted my head ant with a yell of horror leaped to my feet just In tlm6 to avoid the rush of some huge beast with shaggy hair and spreading horns which stood on its hind legs and made a second lunge for me Leaping backward I fell Ipto tho dry bed of the stream there to be met with a fusi lade of firearms and to be shot in no less than twenty places It flashed through tlg rbei my brain that I had been attacked by some wild animalperhaps a polecat and my I friends In killing it had wounded meAl me-Al was quiet Then I felt something burn and rising painfully to my feet found foind my clothes on lire and numberless stumps of giant firecrackers smouldering about the spot where I had alien Then I heard Then three voices in unison exclaim Youll sneak away from us will you I understood under-stood all Doc had donned n buffalo hide and head and Josh and Sid ex noctlncr what inevitably followed had tied firecrackers together dat le right moment mo-ment them set them going just as I fell among I Declined to Fight Both by disposition and training I ama am-a long suffering man but the thought entered en-tered my mind that these men were mak ing game of me and I became furious Then I safd This has passed endurance Joking or earnest I challenge you all but one at a time to a fair light I will submit sub-mit no longer And gentle reader what reply do you think I received to a demand I de-mand that would have been responded to in kind by any gentleman Yet the answer I an-swer served to convince mo that their later assurance was senulne that they I had not intended their actions as a joke but to frighten me from sleeping alone I lest 1 should be attacked by bears snakes gfigirr ri or polecats I a polecat I ain informed Is a I cat that has in some way became attached attach-ed to a Pole But to resume what do you conceive to have been their reply to my challenge They stood la the light of the lN ets t campfire now burning dimly i dressed in their underclothes save Doc who was adorned with robe and horns they Joined I l hand formed a circle about me and when I had exhausted myself with threats and I ohalenges Josh said Now Monte I that Is i the term of endearment they gave me we will give you an imitation of an Indian ghost dance Then with yells that drowned my voIce and jumpS and antics to disjoint themselves they circled around me for an indescribable length of time until the only desire of my life seamed to be that they should cease and leave me at peace if only a few rno meats Seventytwo hours continued this incoherent Inco-herent yet persistent persecution tha drinking of large antidotes and continuing with equal assiduity Sly clothes wero never on during aU that time Gus the German at a late day explaining all that happened to my friend Bob said Ve deent have no shleep for fur nights till last night und den va deednt shleep for de raid da vould be beck by us right away again For nights he Is said to have shouted out in his sleep Dare dey go komlng beck again For two things alone I give thanks as a result 0 this outing First I am returning re-turning alive second that the case of eggs taken along were good Not that I ate any but you can better Imagine than be tod how continuous and unremitting is the anxiety possessing a person with a strongly developed and cultured sense of smell a he speculates on the age of tho several hens tendering their product to the world especially when employed by Josh Doc and Sid as a means of demonstrating how often they could throw an egg at you and yet not miss I have learned many things and admired 1 many things since coming west but I would rather bo a cold and unillurnined lamp post on Fifth avenue New York than
