"What do you want ?" "Who are you ?" "I am Jackson Fells, and I happen to be sheriff of this county." "The sheriff!" burst out Dick.

"Just the man I'd like to meet.

Sheriff, I've got a prisoner for you, and I want you to raise a posse as quickly as you can and round up five or six other persons." "Eh, what?
A prisoner ?" cried the sheriff.

"Where is he ?" "Tied up good and tight inside the car.

Tell me where to take him, will you ?" "Hum! Well, I guess you better take him over to my office first and we'll look into this," said the sheriff.
