We could do it easily enough if we were down in Carson, where the boys would help us out.

The trouble up here is that 'Wild Bill' Hickock is Marshal of Sheridan, and he and I never did hitch.

Besides, Keith was one of his deputies down at Dodge two years ago--you remember when Dutch Charlie's place was cleaned out?
Well, Hickock and Keith did that job all alone, and 'Wild Bill' isn't going back on that kind of a pal, is he?
I tell you we've got to fight this affair alone, and on the quiet.

Maybe the fellow don't know much yet, but he's sure on the trail, or else he wouldn't have been in here talking to Willoughby.

We've got to get him, Scott, somehow.
