Story 109
The Horse Thief
“I’ll be brief,” said Big Bull, the Sioux Indian chief. “It’s my firm belief that we
must scalp the horse thief. He steals our ponies and sells them as beef.
“He has brought us nothing but grief. He will never turn over a new leaf, so only
his death will spell relief.”

he threw his clothes into a creek and told the sheik – a new job he would seek !
