As I was tagged, so shall I tag thee ...

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to p. 123
3. Find the 5th sentence
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog (along with these instructions).
5. Don't you dare dig for that 'cool' or 'intellectual' book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag whomever you want, or not."

I have followed these instructions to the letter. The results:

BOOK: "Great Gunfighters of the Kansas Cowtowns (1867-1886)" by Nyle H. Miller & Joseph W. Snell ...

"He got on the train at Buffalo Station, eighty miles west of here. He attempted to get on an A. Anderson extra train, which came down the same day, but they would not let him on. He was delivered over to the commanding officer at the Fort for safe keeping, and it is thought that he will be sent to-morrow to Sheridan or Topeka for trial."

Feel free to try it yourself in the Comments, or copy and spread about as you see fit.
