"Hold 'em here, I want to see what happened and if there are any Lost Lake riders in town." Being just outside of town that shouldn't be much of a problem. Case then rode forward slowly observing everything, broken window, blood in the dirt, it could only have been a robbery.

He spotted two Lost Lake riders in front of the mercantile, a buckboard out front, obviously in town for supplies, so he rode up to them. "Found some of your cattle out on the open range. Up the street at the end of town." He announced loudly for anyone to hear. "What happened?"

"Bank heist went wrong." One of the men said. "Deputy killed the horse to stop one from gettin' away."

Couple outlaws an' a citizen were killed. Heard one escaped and the Marshal's after 'em." Another chimed in. "Been a hell of a day so far!"

Case nodded, touched the brim of his hat and said. "We'll hold the cows till your ready to head on out." Then cantered back up the street to where the two hands waited. "Bank job went wrong. So we'll hold the cows, some Lost Lake boys'll pick 'em up on their way out."
