quite liberally and dismissed him, saying that he was going to leave
town on the next train westward.
"Have you any idea where he was going?" asked Manning.
"I think he went to Minneapolis, for he asked me if that road would take

Here was the very information he wanted, and he had struck the trail
again. Anxious to pursue his journey, Manning invited the chief to
breakfast with him; after which, finding he could leave in a very short
time, he bade the courteous and valuable officer good-by, and was soon
on his way to Minneapolis, there to commence again the trail of the
fleeing burglar.

purchased a ticket over the Northern Pacific railroad for Bismarck, a
thriving town in Dakota.
