Now I believe that attack was made on me to try and get that piece of paper.

The chap who bolted may like enough have hid himself and watched us, and may have seen us find it and me take charge of it.

That evening I had been out by myself, which I did not often do, for we in general went about together, and was going back along that street, and was pretty nigh home, when someone said in Spanish, 'That is the fellow,' and then five men jumped out with knives in their hands.

I had just time to whip out my six-shooter and fire once.
