Summary

'Tommy Madden, Bill Garnett and Harry Baxter, three hardened bushmen and prospectors. [In] an extract from 'The Bulletin', Jack Laver being the publican at the time. "J.B." Down at the pub the other day a well primed trio began to show sentimental signs of brotherly love and finally decided that they would make out wills in favour of the other two, the combined estates to go to the last survivor. The publican was engaged to draw up the documents, so turning to the first man - an Irishman, of course - he said "I suppose you perfectly understand this business?" "My oath!" was the prompt reply. "The first cow that snuffs takes the blanky lot"'.
