Cowperwood was thinking of the West of reaching some slight local standing here in Philadelphia, and then, with perhaps one hundred thousand dollars in capital, removing to the boundless prairies of which he had heard so much Chicago, Fargo, Duluth, Sioux City, places then heralded in Philadelphia and the East as coming centers of great life and taking Aileen with him.
Upon inquiry, it was ascertained that horses might be procured a mile back from the station; and, while the baffled officer, and such of the passengers as could not wait until next day, went in pursuit of them, Sam mounted one of the "cayuses," and made what haste he could after the coach and Wells, Fargo & Company's express-box.

Four other observers at Fargo partially corroborated his story, an oculist, Dr. A. D. Cannon, the Cub's pilot, and his passenger, Einar Neilson. They saw a light "moving fast," but did not witness all the maneuvers that Gorman reported. Two CAA employees on the ground saw a light move over the field once. Project Sign investigators rushed to Fargo. They had wired ahead to ground the plane.
That same afternoon he read the last chapter to Blix, and she helped him to prepare the manuscript for expressage. She insisted that it should go off that very day, and herself wrote the directions upon the outside wrapper. Then the two went down together to the Wells Fargo office, and "In Defiance of Authority" was sent on its journey across the continent.
The fourth man wore his left arm in a sling and hobbled on a cane. The fourth man was Swing Tunstall. "What kind of hell's trick is this?" demanded Jack Harpe, glaring at the Wells Fargo detective. "It's the last trick, Bill," said Mr. Johnson. At the mention of which name Jack Harpe appeared to shrink inwardly. He looked suddenly very old.
