Garrigan and Mulvehill had arrested
two notorious crooks that had reached

them and promptly nailed them as soon
as they stepped OF the train and the
fellows deity dropped several gold
rings. They resisted furlously and
struck out with their lists, but with
some difficulty were overcome and
led 10 the Cambria City lock up.
This place was full Of mud knee
