two o'clock
There 's been a plot worked up here for three nights in Conlow 's shop , to burn ' every Union man 's house in town . Preacher Dodd and that stranger named Yeager and the other fellow that 's been stayin ' at the tavern are backin ' the whole thing . The men that 's been hanging round here are all in the plot . They 're to lay low a little while , and at two o'clock the blazin 's to begin . Jim 's run to Anderson 's and Mead 's , but we 'll do just what Phil says . We 'll get the boys together and you 'll tell us what to do . The men 'll kill Jim an ' me if they find out we told , but we swore we 'd stay by you boys .
