Hal was shot by horsethieves who were running off stock, and was found and taken care of by friendly Indians, but Mrs. Hal had an awful scare and sent for the old man, who went, of course both young ladies going with him. They were miles away before we knew it at the fort.
" And horsethieves hidden in the chaparral?" she asked with a flash of demure eyes. "You're goin' to take an awful big chance with one ex-horsethief. Lee, I'm the luckiest fellow on earth." She nestled closer to him. Her lips trembled to his kiss. "Billie, you're sure, aren't you?" she whispered. "It wasn't just pity for me."
The horse's hoofs pounded down the road in pursuit. Sanders was riding the same bronco he had used to follow the horsethieves. It had been under a saddle most of the time for a week and was far from fresh. Before he had gone a mile he knew that the foreman would catch up with him. He was riding for Gunsight Pass. It was necessary to get there before Doble reached him.
Two of the men Will recognized as discharged teamsters from Lew Simpson's train, and from his knowledge of their longstanding weakness he assumed, correctly, that he had thrust his head into a den of horsethieves.
This was in connection with the escape of three horsethieves from St. George. These men wrenched four large doors from the Callville warehouse for the construction of a raft, upon which they committed themselves to the river at flood time, leaving horses and impedimenta behind. Whether they escaped has not been chronicled.
At the Graham settlement there was purchase of a water ditch and a quit-claim deed to four quarter-sections of land that had been farmed by non-Mormons. The record recites, "it was merely a rustlers' ranch, possessed by horsethieves and speculators who had a small house on it, for which the brethren paid about $1800, in cows valued at $35 per head." Lake remained in the valley.
