In Arizona in the 1880's there was a cattle ranch near Tucson.
On the ranch was an old Indian everyone called "chief."
Chief was a hard worker and all the cowboys liked him, but he was
an alcoholic.
One day chief got up early in the morning and went to repair
the outhouse. He got the top off the two holer, and was sawing
and hammering as he drank whisky.
Finally, he got so tipsy that he fell into the pit under the
two holer.
He was unconscious for some time, and injured, so he laid there
for a couple days. All of his friends were looking for him.
Finally Tex went out one morning to do his business in the
outhouse, and heard groans coming from the hole. He got a
rope, lowered it in the pit, and pulled chief up. He was a mess,
covered with excrement.
When he got chief up Tex said "Gosh chief, you're a mess. How
long have you been down there?"
And the old fellow replied, after some thought, "Many Moons!"
