‘Well, he never had any wife or a son that we ever heard about. The telegram says that his son was headed this way.’
‘Did he ever get here, sheriff?’

‘Well, we dunno yet, Jim. Don’t tell anybody about it.’
‘Is that all I can do for yuh, gents?’ asked Horton.
‘Yeah, that’s all, I reckon. Thank yuh, Horton.’
‘You’re welcome.’
