    They usually come for fairs to this town, especially the horse one. They are real wranglers; they buy horses for a meagre sum and sell then again, making a good profit on them. But the sad thing is this that when they make a big profit they go away to public houses and drink all what they have made. Then a row arises and in some cases blood is drawn.
