Peacher's friends, too, if they reported to him any loss were merely told to wait a little for the stolen article.

When he reached Peacher's gate, he climbed one of the posts and rested his load on the fence nearby.

In a few days a man was seen to approach Peacher's place early in the morning afoot and carrying an apparently heavy load.

Peacher soon discovered the loss but, as usual, he "lay low" and waited for the certain issue.
