He said that I was confusing Robert Shorter with Simp. It was Robert that worked for the RR and made the rail fire dogs. He said that he thought that one of the boys had passed away and the other was at the nursing home in Mendenhall. I would love to get the list of names from the BLM. Franklin Cooper has an old plat of the town of Star on large blue print that was too big to scan with the scanner I had. I need to ask him about getting a copy. I've got some old maps. Let me check them out and get back with you but from what you're sayings you've probably seen what I've got. I know that they have some maps at the MS Archives but I've never looked to see what they have. Mike
