“How?” Bob wanted to know. Life is but short— “He’s a cattleman,” said the boy, as if that explained everything. It was a horrible situation, for there seemed to be nothing that could be done. Probably the Mexican was desperate enough to sacrifice his life if he should be detected while laying his mine. He would set off the dynamite if he saw anything to disturb him. Therefore, to attack him openly seemed out of the question..
