Bottleneck Bob

 
 
Did you heared the story of Bottleneck Bob which tried to rob a train with cattle? Well, if not I gonna tell you now.

It was to the time when there was a train-route crossing Brunkeflo and there were coming tourists to Brunkeflo all of the time. Some because of the great Moonshine that the grand-grand-grand-dad of Maggie made to that time, some cause they really wanted to marry a woman whose parents were brother and sister and some because they wanted to dig for gold in the gold-mine.

After all there was a cruel sheriff which was called "Bill, the butcher" for beeing so cruel. Some people say he would be the illegitimate son of a devil, some said he would only be sadistic and some didnīt said anything at all.

Anyway when a farmer called Bottleneck Bob (cause he always had any bottle of Whiskey hanging in his neck) was losing all his cattle to Sheriff Bill the butcher wjen they played poker (he also lost his wife on him during that play, but she was so ugly that he didnīt mind) the sheriff wanted to sell the cattle which was Bottleneck Bobs only property.

So he sold them to an big cattle ranch in Texas. The cattle got loaded on a train early Sunday morning and the train was going itīs way. But about 5 kilometres away from Brunkeflo, at the Bother Hills, there was laying a very drunk Bottleneck Bob waiting with some dynamite. When the train passed by he threw the dynamite and blew the track to smithereens with the biggest blast youīve ever seen and all the cattles where going wild and runned away. And Bottleneck Bob himself caught the huggest bull with an lasso and rided on it away.

The cattle ran all into town (where all was peace and quiet since it was Sunday morning) and when the people saw the herd there surely was a riot. The cattle smashed the bank in flakes just like the worst of robers and the sheriff and the men just wondered where to put them all.

And than the sheriff saw Bottleneck Bob riding on his bull and they tried to follow him, but he was faster. Rumours say that the sheriff put down his sheriff star forever after this event and the people in Brunkeflo gave Bottleneck Bob money so he could get back his cattle once for all, but maybe this was just made up by any reporter at the swedish newspaper "Expressen"?????
