Couldn’t have better luck! I was hoping that you would stick as my assistant. My first job for you is to find jobs for a couple of rodmen I brought along with me. Here, boys, I want to introduce you to Mr. Taylor, the assistant engineer and therefore your immediate boss.”,“Surveyors? What’s your scheme?” Jimmy was quickly interested.,“The Sheriff tells me a thousand dollars will be paid to your account as soon as the State settles, Billy.
