"Him steal Monty," he said.
"Is that Monty lying dead over there ?" Mr.Sherwood inquired anxiously.
"No.

Him run away," Injun replied.
"Then it musta bin Monty that passed us," said Bill Jordan.
Through short, sharp questioning it was developed that Injun had seen Dorgan take Monty from the Hanley Ranch corral, had borrowed a mount for himself, and followed; that he had winged Dorgan with an arrow, the shock of which had jarred him so that he had fallen from the pony.

The other arrow in Dorgan's arm was the result of another lucky shot by Injun.

When the vigilantes arrived, Dorgan was striving to return the compliment.

He had succeeded in killing Injun's borrowed horse, behind which that expert young person had barricaded himself.
