There was a man who called him- self Fred Burnes here in Red Butte a while back that we're satisfied is your husband, Bruce Carey. Pierre Donovan who came nuntin’® him was sure he was Bruce. According to Jimmy Har- rigan, this man Burnes, or Bruce Carey, went off into the desert| with a fellow known as Colorado, Bill. Colorado give out they was goin’ to Painted Mountain where he says he has a claim, but they didn't “Well, from what Jimmie Harri- gan told when he was in town we figure that Colorado and Bruce are Two men entered, haf dragging, half carrying Roy Donovan. in Blackwater Tanks. And I reckon that Pierre Donovan is with them ‘cause when Harrigan started for home he said he was takin' Pierre as far as Drippin’ Spring, and would set him on the trail for Blackwater Tanks there. T've sent two of my deputies to the Tanks to fetch Bruce and Pi- grre if they're there. I've got noth- ing on Colorado. If they have back- now tracked from the Tanks and gone| to Painted Mountain, they can't go anywhere from Painted Moun- tain except to Drippin’ Spring and back here. “If they should try to go tarouch to Gold Center from the Tanks I haye two deputies in an automo- pile waitin’ to pick ’'em up when they strike the road from here to ihe Center. So you can see, I'm as gure of gettin’ 'em as I would be if. I already had 'em locked up— that is, of course, unless the des- crt gets 'em first. T've had this old desert beat me to a man that I was wantin’ more than once.” Ann gave a little cry and caught Old Tony's arm. “I'm sorry, ma‘am, but what can 1 do? My instructions from your sheriff at Orchard Hill was to get “You mean,” faltered Ann, “that you are going to arrest my hus- band and Pierre and send them back home as criminals?” < fore the sheriff could an- swer, Jimmie Harrigan and another man-entered the office. “Howdy, iff. “Well, Henry, what do you kpow? Where's Jeff?” “Jeff’ll be along iff. We met Jimmie was goin’ from the Spring to the Tanks. He was on his way back (and came in with us. He can tell {you what's happened.” |" The newcomer looked at Ann and Old Tony. “These folks are interested,” sald the sheriff. “Go ahead, Harrigan.” “Ye mind the lad, Pierre Dono- curiously van, that was wantin’ me to help him find a man by the name av Bruce Carey?” “Yes? “Well, I took Plerre as far as | the Spring, 1 1 id T would. I sure was sorry to see him startin’ tout for Mother Mountain all alone {and him so scared of the desert, but wid guts to go on in spite av his fear. Well, somehow, all the way to my place in the Biscult Hills I kept thinkin' av the lad. I'd warned him about strayin’ off ‘nto Skeleton Sink, av course, but |1 feared he might make trouble fer himself in spite av all So as soon as I'd got me out- home I turned around and come back to Drippin’ Spring e if all was well. Nobody had en there. So then I hit the trail fer Black Water tanks. I found their outfit at the Tanks all right, wid no water in the Tanks. Plerre must have found his friend Bruce and Colorado because 'twas clear Jhat there had been three av thim there.

He was shot all right. An’ there was a grave about half dug. He wasn't in it, but this was.” He handed the sheriff a piece of white quartz. The sheriff was examining the quartz when the other deputy came in. The sheriff looked up and there was a snap in his voice as he |asked: “You, Henry and Jeff, haye you seen this?" “Yes, said Henry. “Sure,” replied Jeff. “Well, it'll keep until we've fin- ished this case—understand?” he said sharply. The men nodded and the sheriff turned to the Irishman. “There was a location notice,” said Harrigan. “The names on it was Bruce Carey, Pierre Donovan land Roy Donovan. | “Just as I thought, ma'am, when iyou told me about Pierre's father | interesting your husband in a mine out here.
