PREPARE FOR LIVELY TIMES!

Gold Expected to Fall 10 Per Cent—

Spades and Picks Rising—The National

Debt to Be Paid When Custer Returns.

Yeah, I remembered it. I had read it enough times. It sure had hooked me and Bucklaw. And now even more gold had been found. The Hills would soon fill with white men, greedy and ready for gold. I hoped that greediest of all sonofabitches, Carson, was with them. If so, it would damn sure be his last camp.

I found a creek a little later on, one with the signs of having been heavily panned. There were tracks all around it and a lot of the bank had fallen into the water from being torn down by boot heels.

It was cold, but I’d carried my stink around long enough. I tied up the horse. Stripping off, I carried the Winchester out toward a rock in the middle of the creek. I put the rifle on the rock, balancing it within easy reach. Then I sat down in the icy water and washed. After about ten minutes I was used to the chill, and another ten or fifteen minutes had me clean. I got my Winchester and walked out of the water.

I squatted on the bank and washed my shirt and pants. While they were drying on a pine limb, I stretched out my blanket and lay naked in the sun with the Winchester at my side. It felt good, as good a feeling as I’d had in ages.

My clothes were just the slightest bit damp when I finally dressed, and I was thinking about stretching out on the blanket again and letting the sun finish the job when I heard gunfire.
