J. Pierpont was a hobo who always had his own private rail car. The reason is that he never rode on box cars, but used cattle cars. He could stand it because he had broken his nose as a child and could not small a thing. In order not to disturb the cattle, he got a complete cowhide, including the head and horns. Things went along fine until a man came along branding the cattle as soon as they got off the car. To this day, J. Pierpont never takes off his pants with anyone around, in case someone from the Triple Bar X Ranch is there.
