"We'll throw out a circle and pick up the trail of that machine, or whatever they made their getaway in.

My idea is that they must have stached some horses out here somewhere.

I don't believe they'd take the risk of trying to get away in a machine; that would hold them to the main trails, mostly.

I know it wouldn't be my way of getting outa reach.

I'd want horses so I could get into rough country, and I've doped it out that Ramon is too trail-wise to bank very high on an automobile once he got out away from town.
Applehead, you and Lite and Pink and Weary form one party if it comes to where we want to divide forces.
