"Where did you get that hat?"
"I bought it."
"Off whom?"
"Don't know what his name is. I never seen him before."
"Tell me all you know. Come, I've no time to fool away asking you questions. Get to the point."
"I'll tell you all I know. A fellow came in here this afternoon. I give him fifty cents for the hat and that's all there was to it."
"Say where he come from?"
"Yes, said he was down from the Medicine range."
"That's more than thirty miles north of here," mused the foreman. "I don't understand it. You sure that's all he said?"
"Yes; I don't know any more."
