Then the man dug up the goats horn. He looked at the sergeant and said, had your gauger horns on him. The sergeant said, the he'd be damned our gauger had no horns on his head.
Well this fellow has horns said the man. Anyhow they dug up the goat. When the sergeant saw it he said come on with the money you didn't won it. The man jumped out of the grave and the sergeant saw him again.
