The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Q. What did you and Mr. Evans do? A. Well, I told him to get his partner and we would go out to the car there. And he says, what partner? He says, I don’t know anything. I said, I know there is another fellow along because I can see his tracks leading to the cow shed. He says, well, I don’t know anything, I am just riding along. He said this fellow that he was with broke some horses up the creek here and the fellow wouldn’t pay him and he was after the saddles. ’ ’”
