And we ask if he will accept it,” he said. “I’ve never heard one turned down — it’s simple cu riosity, I guess.” A typical tell-them-off mes sage: “You’re an incompetent supervisor. You have no consid eration for the people that work for you.” Brownrigg says the per centage of angry messages breaks down evenly between men and women. Men usually curse their boss for possessing the tact, grace and consideration of a 1920 s chain gang captain. “Nasties” from women are more venomous and are aimed at “two-timing, inconsiderate” husbands and boyfriends, he said. Brownrigg’s wife prefers to deliver the messages of the heart.

(AP) — Custer and his men were wiped out 30 miles west of here. A monument marks the place. At this woebegone outpost on the Rosebud River another monument of sorts has been raised, gradually, over the years, commemorating wipeout after wipeout of the victors. Custer’s last laugh? This monument you have to see to believe. It is a pile of beer cans. No, a mountain of beer cans. No, it is a mountain range of beer cans. It ascends to altitudes of 15 feet, 20 feet, maybe higher in spots, and it sprawls over an acre of otherwise un productive soil located precisely outside the northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation boundary line. A bac chanalian midden. “When did that beer can pile begin? It began the day Prohibition ended,” said Bob Edwards, proprietor of the Jimtown Bar. He also said there’s more to the pile than meets the eye. “It began by tossing cans in a hole, a pretty good size hole, I’m told. A good part of it is underground. “I’m the fifth owner of this joint. The first was a guy Page 21 — Griffin Daily News Thursday, AAay 5,1977 named Jim Ellison. That’s how the place came to be Jimtown. It isn’t a town. I guess you noticed this is the only thing here, this saloon. Isn’t it the worst place you ever saw? “Anyhow, I’ve had other holes dug to keep the pile down. I had a Cat come in with a 10-foot blade and dig a long trench eight feet deep. That trench is full, and those cans were squashed flat. “What’s out back are just the cans that stay. More go out the front door. We had a cleanup drive once and somebody collected eight pickup loads just between here and Lame Deer.” Lame Deer, population 600, the only town on the Reservation, is four miles south of Jimtown, and yes, mercy yes, Jimtown is the worst place you ever saw. The saloon is a battered wooden building dearing vague evidence that it once knew paint. Its windows are screened with steel, of prison thickness. The sign over the door, “Jimtown Bar,” is riddled with more than 100 bullet holes. The equally ventilated mailbox is the third replaement in less than a year.
