The Flight of the Kidnapers Searching parties were organised and sent out to scour the country, late as it was.

Swift riders gave the alarm along every roadway, and the station agent telegraphed the news into every section of the land.

At Boggs City, the sheriff, berating Anderson Crow for a fool and Tinkletown for an open-air lunatic asylum, sent his deputies down to assist in the pursuit.

The marshal himself undertook to lead each separate and distinct posse.

He was so overwhelmed by the magnitude of his misfortune that it is no wonder his brain whirled widely enough to encompass the whole enterprise.
Be it said to the credit of Tinkletown, her citizens made every reasonable effort to recapture the men.
