Chapter VII
THE ATTACK OF THE MEXICAN. When he entered the big house Buffalo Bill did not meet Latimer. It seemed useless to search for him, to question him again, after his positive denial. Nevertheless, the feeling had grown within the scout that for some inexplicable reason Latimer was not “playing fair.” Not finding Latimer readily, he departed from the house and strolled about the grounds.
