“They’re from Neil Howell’s hunting camp.”
“I thought so!” replied Jimmie. “But what do they want of DuBois?”
“They’ve got him under arrest!” replied Ben.
“That’s a nice thing, too! What have they got him under arrest for?”
“They claim that he stole a horse or a mule or a burro and a lot of money from their tent.”
“You don’t believe it, do you?” asked Jimmie.
“I certainly do not!”
“What are they going to do with him?”
“They’re going to take him back to their camp. One of the men said they’d probably lynch him when they got him there.”
“Did they get him out of our camp?” asked the boy.
