CHAPTER XII
BOB BOUNCER'S CLEW
"Try to catch the robbers?" gasped Frank, in wonder.
"Yes," replied Bob, in a way that showed he was very much in earnest.
"Say, wouldn't it be grand if we could!" cried Sammy. "Why, there's a reward of two hundred dollars for that!"
"Yes, but we wouldn't take it from Mr. Haven," said Bob, quickly.
"That's so, I forgot," replied Sammy, readily.
"Have you found out something. Bob?" asked Frank, seriously.
"I think I have."
"What is it?" asked Sammy.
"I can't tell you all at once," replied Bob. "There's just this, though, fellows; I know that two tramps were in town yesterday."
"You do!" cried Sammy.
"Yes."
"And you think they are the robbers?"
"I'm pretty sure of it. Frank, do you remember my telling you about the two men hiding on the bluff the night of the bonfire?"
"Yes, Bob."
"And how they were talking about robbing somebody?"
"And you told your father, and he got the marshal to look for them?"
