Friday night. He ran into the camp
and almost knocked tent down. On

Quick as flash came the reply:
ut is a good deal better for me 70
travel at night than in the daytime"
The man volunteered no information
as to who he was. but got away in tho
darkness with his two horses as quick
ly as possible. Sheriff De Bolt met the
two campers on his way from Coulee
City to Almira Saturday morning, and
they told him the foregoing story.
