Yours Respecfully, D. Pike,

CHAPTER IV
We prepare to fight the Robbers and I make a little Trip out to Bill Mountain’s House: after I come back I show what a great Fool I can be.
The next minute I was back in the depot reading this letter to the others. When I had finished they all looked pretty blank. At last Jim Stackhouse said:
“Well, I’d like to know what we’re going to do about it?”
Tom Carr laughed. “If they come it will be the duty of the street commissioner to remove ’em for obstructing the car lines,” he said.
