      GREAT AUNT GERT AND THE OUTLAW

      by Velda Brotherton

      This story was told for the truth by Great-Aunt Gert when I was a youngster as we sat on the front porch or our log house in the Ozarks:

      The afternoon I saw three men shove a shiny black Dodge Touring car off into the creek started out as an ordinary summer day. Hot and still, like the Ozarks are in July.
