Excerpt
“It wasn’t an Indian who did it,” he decided. “No Indian would have left so valuable a weapon behind. An Indian would have robbed his victim of everything that was worth stealing, and would probably have taken his scalp. He would almost certainly have appropriated the poor chap’s horse. No; it wasn’t an Indian.”
