nine o'clock
Dennis , who was in charge at the yard , had hard work to keep up with the supply of empty wagons . Sloan disappeared early in the morning , but at five o'clock Bannon had a telephone message from him . `` I 'm here at Blake City , '' he said , `` raising hell . The general manager gets here at nine o'clock to-night to talk with me . They 're feeling nervous about your getting that message . I think you 'd better come up here and talk to him . '' So a little after nine that night the three men , Sloan , Bannon , and the manager , sat down to talk it over .
