Im jamie colby, and today im out in west texas, about 50 miles southwest of abilene. Im here to hunt down two strange inheritances submitted by viewers whose stories converge into a single tale, a tale born straight out of the wild, wild west. My name is garland richards. In 1998, my dad passed away, left me and my siblings a large cattle ranch and a giant part of history. Well, i got your letter, and im dying to learn more about your inheritance. What is this place . This is the richards ranch, and this is Fort Chadbourne. We will be glad to show you around. Im ready. Garland tells me Fort Chadbourne was built in 1852, during the Great Western expansion. [ gunfire, horses neighing ] the area had become a hotspot for violence between the pioneers and native indian tribes. The u. S. Military came in here and set up Fort Chadbourne as a buffer zone.

Change, not even by a 16th of an inch. Metro said its leapt into action doing new inspections of similar tracks. They said they could do better conveying that to congress. We have to turn but thats what we have done and thats what we are doing. Reporter remember, this is a big deal to congress. About a third of federal workers commute by metro and its also a big deal to metro. Nearly half of federal government, 417 million worth. Its a big deal. Congress is demanding more fedel oversight.

The federal Rail Administration is recommending sleep apnea screening and investigation into the deadly train crash in hoboken, new jersey after it was revealed the operator had sleep apnea. They want inward cameras in the cabs. One woman was killed when that train slammed into the station in september. Presiden
Oil and the bears feeling threatened if energy doesnt go higher immediately. Each day, one of the bears seems to roll over, crushing goldiloc goldilocks, and today papa bear just mauled her, sending the dow down 112 points, s p down 12. 5 . Nasdaq down 1. 4 . It was a nightmare of a session, because goldilocks looked home free before she was blindsided by the whole bear family in the last 20 minutes of trading. It was the goriest close of the year. You remember the story of the three bears. So lets put them in perspective, with goldilocks, who, of course, triumphs in the fairy tale, but these days tends to get waterboarded at least once a day, if not kept all night with lights and blaring rock music. Each session, goldilocks faces off against a different bear, and today the russian papa bear mauled her and her happy ending. No happy ending. However, i dont want to get too ahead of the story. Lets take the bear serially, so you know what kind of gauntlet this kid has to go through. Firs
