Clell Miller stood outside as Jim Younger walked into the store.
He noticed a man combing a bay thoroughbred. " We would like to buy eight horses from you" he said quietly as he stared at the slim and tall man. " And no questions asked".
" Horse traders?".
" No". He gave the man $ 110. " Will this cover the horses?".
" Yes".
Later, all eight men reconvened in an abandoned barn outside town.
Frank looked at the men. " Cole, how was it west of here?".
" Charlie Pitts and I checked it out, no good".
" Jesse, how was Red Wing?".
" No good, the escape routes are too difficult".
" Jesse and I will ride out later and check out Mankato and Northfield". He spit into an empty bucket. " Clell and Jim will check out St Peter".
" After that, we will meet here again and decide what to do".
