The idea!" "Anything else ?" demanded Lieutenant Wingate.

"I have had about enough of this nonsense." "I reckon there is something else.

Ye're charged with bein' dangerous characters.

Information has been laid against ye by one William Tatem, otherwise known as Peg Tatem, accusin' some person unknown, but belongin' to this party, of shootin' him through the leg." "It was a wooden leg, and the shots were not fired by any person or persons in this party.

We do not know who fired them," interrupted Hippy.
The deputy sheriffs grinned.
"Ye are further charged with causin' certain wild animals, to wit, a bear and a big ugly dog, to attack Peg Tatem and his men and do 'em injury, to wit, bites and scratches, not to speak of a bad scare." "Well?
There must be something more," urged Hippy.
