(Ridgway) A gregarious hitchhiker has reportedly been handing out $100 bills to unsuspecting motorists travelling along Highway 62 through town it was disclosed today. According to a plethora of happy recipients the hitchhiker presented the money with a reminder that “all thumb cruisers were not bad and that it is safe to give them a ride in their time of need”.

Today a lot of people cannot afford higher priced gasoline,” said Sissy Honkshaw, an expert of some sort, “while on the other end of the steering wheel, drivers can often resent what they consider to be deadbeat behavior in trying to bum a free ride.”

     Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this endowment rambler is asked to call local police and this newspaper immediately. A $10 reward is offered.
