"I want this man arrested," answered Dick, as he got up, but still kept close to Bradner.
"What has he done?"
"He is a sharper of the worst kind."
"You are sure of this?"
"I am—"
"You will have to go to the station house with us if I take the man in," continued the policeman.
"I am willing," answered Dick quietly.
Muttering angrily to himself, Henry Bradner arose. He wanted to run away, but got no chance to do so. Soon the station house was reached, and here Dick and his brothers told their story.
"The assault happened in another State," said the officer at the desk. "The most we can do is to hold him until the Illinois authorities send for him."
"Why, that's Harry the Crook, from Gunnison!" put in an officer who had just come in. "He is wanted here on half a dozen charges."
