Clues to find the loot
Tuesday’s clue to find the loot
The Stranger and Sidekick slipped away with the loot,And put it where a tree had just taken root.The spot they decided would be only the best,And would put would-be finders’ minds to the test.
Wednesday’s clue to find the loot
It stayed in its spot undisturbed for yet another day,While they looked high and low for their chance to get away.It was not meant to be at a particular height,Just a place that was not in obvious plain sight.

This just in: Five Star hit in a robbery today,By the Lone Stranger and Sidekick, the Cowboys gave chase.They ran through the town by rail and 44,Finally held up in a loft and then slammed the door.
Wednesday’s clue to identify the Lone Stranger and Sidekick
They didn’t go far they had much more to do,What was next on the list for this dastardly two?The Posse rode past them, then stopped for a bite,At a local hall where the food was just right.
