Steadily
the
distance
between
the
Leaguers
and
the
posse
diminished
.
“
Don
’
t
let
them
get
too
close
,
Governor
,
”
whispered
Harran
.
When
S
.
Behrman
’
s
buggy
was
about
one
hundred
yards
distant
from
the
irrigating
ditch
,
Magnus
sprang
out
upon
the
road
,
leaving
his
revolvers
behind
him
.
He
beckoned
Garnett
and
Gethings
to
follow
,
and
the
three
ranchers
,
who
,
with
the
exception
of
Broderson
,
were
the
oldest
men
present
,
advanced
,
without
arms
,
to
meet
the
marshal
.
Magnus
cried
aloud
:
“
Halt
where
you
are
.
”
From
their
places
in
the
ditch
,
Annixter
,
Osterman
,
Dabney
,
Harran
,
Hooven
,
Broderson
,
Cutter
,
and
Phelps
,
their
hands
laid
upon
their
revolvers
,
watched
silently
,
alert
,
keen
,
ready
for
anything
.
At
the
Governor
’
s
words
,
they
saw
Ruggles
pull
sharply
on
the
reins
.
The
buggy
came
to
a
standstill
,
the
riders
doing
likewise
.
Magnus
approached
the
marshal
,
still
followed
by
Garnett
and
Gethings
,
and
began
to
speak
.
His
voice
was
audible
to
the
men
in
the
ditch
,
but
his
words
could
not
be
made
out
.
They
heard
the
marshal
reply
quietly
enough
and
the
two
shook
hands
.
Delaney
came
around
from
the
side
of
the
buggy
,
his
horse
standing
before
the
team
across
the
road
.
He
leaned
from
the
saddle
,
listening
to
what
was
being
said
,
but
made
no
remark
.
From
time
to
time
,
S
.
Behrman
and
Ruggles
,
from
their
seats
in
the
buggy
,
interposed
a
sentence
or
two
into
the
conversation
,
but
at
first
,
so
far
as
the
Leaguers
could
discern
,
neither
Magnus
nor
the
marshal
paid
them
any
attention
.
They
saw
,
however
,
that
the
latter
repeatedly
shook
his
head
and
once
they
heard
him
exclaim
in
a
loud
voice
:
“
I
only
know
my
duty
,
Mr
.
Derrick
.
”
Then
Gethings
turned
about
,
and
seeing
Delaney
close
at
hand
,
addressed
an
unheard
remark
to
him
.
The
cow
-
puncher
replied
curtly
and
the
words
seemed
to
anger
Gethings
.
He
made
a
gesture
,
pointing
back
to
the
ditch
,
showing
the
intrenched
Leaguers
to
the
posse
.
Delaney
appeared
to
communicate
the
news
that
the
Leaguers
were
on
hand
and
prepared
to
resist
,
to
the
other
members
of
the
party
.
They
all
looked
toward
the
ditch
and
plainly
saw
the
ranchers
there
,
standing
to
their
arms
.
