FZ: I think all around up each side the east end of the stable all around was
this wire cable.

AV: And later years yu think they had posts in the ground, pipes with
flattened ends nailed into the posts?

FZ: Yeh, now just maybe you'd say the width of the yard just on the east end
of the barn or the stable.

AV: What in later years when would that be, maybe in the 30's, the late 20's?

FZ: Oh I'd make it in the early 30s.

AV: And then the rest of the fence was made out of posts in the ground with
cable, wire cable, strung in between them?

FZ: Yeh, and from posts to post.

AV: How high was the fence?

FZ: Oh the fence was pretty high - I'd say at least 6 ft.

AV: And abut how many strands of cable hoisting wire did they use, about
were there a whole lot of them?

FZ: No, not a whole lot.

AV: Well then there must have been some space in between?

FZ: Yeh, I don't remember, well the posts was 6 ft. there should have been at
least five strands on each one of them all around.

AV: There could have been more?

FZ: Yeh there could have been more but I don't think there was any less.

AV: Where was this band house that you said?

FZ: It was right across the street from Emil Garret's house.

AV: It wasn't in the mule yard though?

FZ: No, no it wasn't in the mule yard.

AV: So the mule yard didn't extend out?

FZ: No not back to the road.

AV: This band house what did it look like then?

FZ: Oh, just a square building and it wasn't too high, had a gable roof.

AV: Was the gable end facing the street?
