LEEPERS WILD RYDE AT FRUITVALE WIND MILL
A long, comic tale from Fruitvale follows Arsinus Gustavus Leeper alias Boots as he climbs a 40 foot windmill tower to tame a dangerous fan. A wind shift dangles him above a tank while neighbors haul him down after rope assists fail. Leeper claims the ride as Fruitvale’s greatest bareback stunt.

Roer Laagers in South Africa Form Defensive Wagons
In South Africa travelers form laagers when outspanning for the bight. Wagons arrange in a hollow square or oblong, with poles outward and wheels locked to block access. Each ox needs 36 square feet, and a 60-wagon laager is the smallest practical defense. All people must shelter within the enclosure before dark to avoid friendly-fire risk.
