"Oh, they'll fight all right," spoke Mrs. Janeway. "The poor, ignorant natives here are always ready to fight. This time I think it is about some cattle that one tribe took from another." "And where will the battle take place?" asked Tom. "Well, the rumors we have, seem to indicate that the fight will take place about ten miles north of here.
