"That's Cap Roche, ther storekeeper over in Silver Bend," Sedgwick whispered, as he went on.
"Is that so?" Wild queried. "Well, I reckon we'll go back to the saloon and find out what kind of a fellow Cap Roche is."
CHAPTER V.
CAP ROCHE MEETS YOUNG WILD WEST.
Chuck Snivel was not long in telling Cap Roche all that had taken place over in Big Bonanza.
The face of the leader of the outlaws wore a troubled look as he listened, and when the man was through he shook his head and said:
"I reckon I'll have to go over and have a look at this dangerous boy, boys. I have heard of him, and I have reason to believe that he is a hard one to beat. Though he is mighty young, he has spent his time looking for trouble ever since he was big enough to shoot a gun, and he has had so much luck that I suppose now he thinks that he is invincible."
"He's a regular terror, Cap," spoke up Bob. "I know what I'm talkin' about. I've seen him, an' I've seen what he could do. He's jest as cool as a chunk of ice, an' yer can't no more scare him than yer kin a mad grizzly. If he's after us you kin bet that he'll git us, unless he's catched afore he gits a good start on."
"Well, I reckon he'll have the hardest time of his life getting us, though," the leader answered. "But I'll ride over, anyhow and try and find out something. Told you to tell any outlaws you met that he was after them, eh, Chuck?"
"Yes; that's right, Cap."
