Wicked Wyoming Nights
“The noise coming from the saloon had been growing all morning, and her feeling of uneasiness along with it. A homesteader who lived some distance from Buffalo had been found dead the day before, his wagon hidden in a gully and his horses shot, and the town was in an ugly mood. Even worse in everyone’s mind, the wagon was loaded with Christmas presents for his children, including a little dog that was whining pitifully when the wagon was discovered. Lucy told her the body had been found on a roa...d running just beyond the westernmost edge of Cord’s range, and some of the men were making nasty accusations.

“I can’t tell. What do you think, Lucy?”
“I didn’t hang about, but it seems to me they’re acting like a bunch of dogs growling over a bone for the pleasure of it.”MoreLess
