True Grit page 31 by ric gustafson
Chaney and I heard voices near the edge of the creek. Then I saw two of the bandits. One was a hatless little man in woolly chaps. I figured that was Lucky Ned Pepper. The other was a Mexican in a bear skin coat. I assumed that was Greaser Bob. Then I heard gunshots. I assumed they were shooting at Cogburn and LaBoeuf.
" Take these horses and the girl". Pepper stared at Chaney. " Move".
After a short time, Pepper and Greaser Bob caught up to us.
Pepper yelled at me. " Who all is down there?".
" Marshal Cogburn and 50 officers".
He shook me. " Don't lie to me".
" Marshal Cogburn and one other man".
