Upon looking in that direction himself he burst out with an exclamation: "It's going to strike us this time, boys, as sure as anything!" "What another irate farmer?" cried Josh, laughingly. "Whatever have the scouts been doing this time to raise trouble? We've been accused of trespassing, and stealing chickens; p'raps they'll try to make out we have evil designs on some country bank."
