The stranger tasted his liquor and replaced the glass with a fastidious shudder upon the bar. "He is not here now?" Baggott shook his head. "You may have heard that Alvarez El Negrito, they call him paid us a little visit a few days ago." He added a profane and heartfelt abjuration of the bandit. "Most of us were corraled in the Blue Chip, and Geoff, he was shot down along with a lot of others."
A half dozen tents were pitched under the trees, horses and oxen were corraled at a little distance, and a group of men sat on camp stools or lay on blankets about a bright fire.
