Sheriff John Cole

The Bank Robbery

Narrative John was satisfied with reviewing the crime scene He then walked outside to look over the tracks. Thankfully not a lot of them had been disturbed. The women coming out after church discovered the body, and drove their buggy back to town. They told the deputies and they came out and secured the scene and brought out the doctor. “Looks to me like you men have done a good job here. One of you still needs to stay here for another day and one of you needs to stay in town. I will start here after I get supplies and head out tracking the vermin. You two take turns here and in town.” Shorty and John rode back to town and Luke stayed at the Widow Scotts. They made small talk as they rode in to town. Shorty had lived here longer than John he was a native of the Mound City he had gone to school with Mrs. Scott. He like many others had known her well.
