Did my great great uncle make a famous bet and won.

Yes it seems he had some secret help and information was scrambled to protect the innocent.  I am sorry he did that.  Must have caused a lot of excitement.  Like pulling a rabbit out of a hat.  If it is impossible than it likely is.  He must have got a laugh, but at least he gave people something to ponder.  Wild was the west, but also a believe it or not?  Not sure if the hotel exists anymore.
