10 o'clock
Yander comes another one , with Ren Bowles , the carpenter , on board . Oh , they are goin ' to rush things . I 've heard that already this mornin ' . You never saw a neighborhood stirred up much worse than this one is over that affair , and there is strong talk of lynchin ' them fellers ; and this mornin ' a party went over to see old Aimes and told him that if he wa n't gone by 10 o'clock they would string him up , and I reckon he 's gone by this time . They are makin ' great heroes oute 'n you and Alf , I tell you . A number of 'em wanted to see you , but Alf would n't let 'em wake you up . I saw Parker while I was down at the shop ; he 'd jest got back from town ; and he told me that the grand jury that 's now in session would indict them fellers to-day , and as court is already set they may be brought to trial for murderous assault and arson right away , and I want to tell you that they 'll do well if they save their necks .
