I was speaking to an older friend of mine about 15years age. He was a young man in the early 30's and lived outside of Dexter Iowa. He told me one night a young man came to the door and wanted to borrow a jack as the wheel had come off their Ford. His dad went to the shed to get him a jack and when he came back the young man had disappeared. Dad went back into the house and sat down. A little while later the same guy came back and ask for the jack. It was time to start thrashing oats. A couple of days later they were heading to the field and heard lots of gunfire. It was the cops shooting up Bonnie and Clyde. Of course Brother buck died later of his wounds received in Missouri and At the Dexfield Iowa campsite. I was priveleged to meet Marvell Feller a year or two later. He was the young man who Clyde held the pistol on and he was forced to help put a shot up Bonnie in his dads Dodge car. Marvell said there was very little gas in the Dodge but they has several gallons of coal oil on hand for the lamps in the house. This was pored in the tank so Bonnie and Clyde could get away. He stated that Clyde was a little guy and shot up. Marvell was around 6' tall if memory serves me right. He said if he knew the pistol Clyde held on him was empty he would have taken it away from him and stuffed it, well stuffed it. Dexfield Park is gone today but there is a marker along the highway. There is lots more about this in the small museum in Dexter Iowa.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning Up Your Tractor: The Battery - by Curtis Von Fange. Buried somewhere beneath the sheetmetal, under the gas tank, or stuffed in front of the radiator is the battery. This elusive and neglected component of the tractor is the hardest to get to when it is dead and in need of a jump. But usually, the storage battery is a storehouse of electrical energy waiting to be released a the flick of a switch. A few maintenance tips and periodic cleaning will keep it charged for the duration of its life span. The battery is made up of a number of lead bas ... [Read Article]
