Hashknife stuffed the paper in his pocket and walked back to Chuck.
“What do yuh reckon we better do about this body?” he asked.
“Leave it here,” said Chuck quickly. “Let Slim and the coroner handle it.”
“Do yuh think we better ride down and tell Reimer?”
“Yeah, I s’pose we had. And then we can cut across the country and tell Slim. Who do yuh reckon killed old DuMond, Hashknife?”
“Somebody did a good job of it, Chuck. Who wanted to kill him off?”
“Rance McCoy.”
“I heard about that. How did he stand with Angel?”
“Oh, all right, I guess. They seemed to be friendly. Yuh see, it was DuMond who told Angel about Lila not bein’ Rance’s daughter. I reckon that’s what made Rance sore at DuMond. Yuh heard about Lila losin’ her job, didn’t yuh?”
“Yeah. That was a shame.”
