Hashknife rode across to the bridge and headed back to Red Arrow. The news of Ed Corby's death had flashed over the range, and many men came in to look at him and to wonder why anybody should shoot an inoffensive man like Corby.
Butch Reimer was in town and Hashknife met him at the sheriff's office. There was no question about Butch being nervous over the killing of Corby. He had lost his usual air of bravado. Sleepy told Hashknife that Butch had asked about him as soon as he came to town, and Sleepy had led him to believe that Hashknife was still in town.
