Used to drive by Dobie's old house on 24th street everyday going to work. Knew an old geezer when I was a kid who was serious about the old Jim Bowie's alleged silver mine up around Menard!!!

He claimed that his camp was "visited" one evening by the ghosts of Spanish Conquistadors who told him where to look!!! LOL! I suppose they spoke English! Or he got in the Evan Williams a bit too deep! wink.

That old man was always on the hunt for lost gold!!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
