"I'm Dave Toban, the sheriff." He threw back one side of his vest and revealed a small silver star.
"Correct," said Calumet; "how you knowin' me ?" "Knowed your dad," said the sheriff.

"You look a heap like him.
Besides," he added as his eyes twinkled, "there ain't no one else in this section doin' any buildin' now." "I'm sure much obliged for your interest," said Calumet.

"An' so Taggart's lookin' for me ?" "Been in town a week," continued the sheriff.

"Been makin' his brags what he's goin' to do to you.

Says you wheedled him into comin' over to the Lazy Y an' then beat him up.
