[CBQ] Re: TZ cars for sale at Hill City

["califconure" <jonathanharris@earthlink.net>]

Years ago, I had heard a pretty nasty rumor that someone in Hill City 
vandalized C&S 9 (I think he supposedly cut the cylinder saddle) before it was 
to be removed, bitter that he was losing "his" engine. 

Is that true? And if so, was this in relation to the court case cited below, 
and was Heckman the culprit?
