H Flood and Company: Chicago, Illinios, 190, pages 69-78. Frank was out building a fence with Buck Moore. Frank and Buck were working their way down the line towards a wagon and three men were also building a fence around different property. One of the men named G.R. Pettis began watching Frank and Buck once they were about 100 yards away. He stood and watched until Frank was about 30 yards away and then said to him...

Way to leave us in a cliff hanger. I want to know what happened to Frank. It does not sound like it will be good.
