“Some’r’s around Medicine Bluff, at last accounts. I don’t know jest whar. I come away ter watch this fork afore Lawless decided jest whar he’d take her.”
“Is she being well treated?”
“She gits the best ther camp affords.”
“Is Lawless with her?”
“By now, I reckon, he’s on his way ter Pima Camp, in Chavorta Gorge.”
“Why is he going to Pima Camp?”
“He’s made up his mind he ain’t got men enough. Andy was put out o’ bizness at ther time o’ ther hold-up, an’ sence then he’s passed out o’ ther game fer keeps. Lonesome Pete kin cut a notch, too, fer Eph Singer—we left him under a pile o’ rocks on ther way ter Medicine Bluff. Thet leaves on’y six in ther gang, countin’ Lawless hisself. Now I’m out, thar’s on’y five.”
“Coomby’s watching the other fork of the valley?”
“Yes.”
“And Lawless has gone to Pima?”
