the moon was bright and it didnt take long for the posse to realize they were now tracking two shod horses instead of one without shoes.-suddenly , though , several shots rang out and as one whizzed past the sheriffs ear , they realized they were being ambushed.-apparently the two men they had been catching up to had decided the posse was after them and began shooting at the sheriff.- the sheriff and his men took cover and returned fire.-after only about fifteen minutes , the two ambushers were dead.-the posse put the bodies on their horses and started back to town , thinking they had lost the indian who had robbed the bank completely.-as they doubled back , however , one of the men spotted a big splatter of blood on some rocky terrain and they knew they had once again come upon the trail of the indian.-they immediately tied the two horses with the bodies on them to some bushes along the way and started back on shadowhawks trail , following the blood right to the indians camp .
