"Vasquez is on the road."
"How do you know?"
"He has just attacked the stage coming from Clark's Station. We heard the shots as we were tending our sheep hard by."
"Any one hurt?"
"The driver's killed. There were a lady and a gentleman in the stage. They were carried off."
"Which way did the robbers go?"
"Toward the big trees. It is there Vasquez has his camp."
"And where are you going?"
"To tell the sheriff of Mariposa."
Jack looked at Harvey.
