One night about two weeks ago the
rangers were sitting around their camp
fire discussing the blind trails they had
followed, beckoned on by false clues.
The sound of fast galloping hoofs inter-
rupted their complaints. and every man
sprang to his feet and looked to his
gun.

Immediately after the killing the three
outlaws must have galloped to their
secret rendezvous and there divided the
booty with the quartet OF brother ruff
fans waiting for them. Then the band
split up into two parties and struck out
on separate trails for the Black River
country. 1t was easier to elude the
rangers II they divided into small bands.
Captain Mossman knew that the out
laws would make for the Black River
country, for in that rough mountain
fastness the settlers have been ter
rorized into protecting desperadoes.
Mcssman gathered around him the
wariest man hunters to be found, and
they trailed into the very heart OF the
Black River region.
