Men crowded round him, all gazing in the direction of his hand, all talking at once. "Jesse Smith's hoss, I swear!" shouted the tall man. "Kells, come out here!" Kells appeared, dark and eager, at the door, and nimbly he leaped to the excited group. Pearce and Wood and others followed. "What's up?" called the bandit. "Hello! Who's that riding bareback?" "He's shore cuttin' the wind," said Wood.
Wherever there was any appearance of the floor of the cavern having been disturbed, the men used the spade and bar. But they found no hidden treasure. In fact, the floor was mostly of solid rock. The old bandit would have found it difficult to have buried anything under such flooring.

In a running fight for miles McNally's men killed sixteen bandits, while only one escaped. A young Ranger by the name of Smith was shot dead by Cammelo Lerma as he dismounted to look at the dying bandit. The dead bodies were piled in ox-carts and dumped in the public square at Brownsville. McNally also captured King Fisher's band in an old log house in Dimmit County, but they were not convicted.
Men's voices were deep with awe when they told how the wrath of Apollo had overthrown the Persian robbers who sought to rifle his holy fane. And yet the time came when a horde of bandit Greeks made the temple their prey and the hand of the god was not lifted in its defence, nor did outraged Greece rise to punish the sacrilegious robbers.
Remember that these men had just broken every principle of justice in their treatment of Jesus, and now they palter over minute points of Rabbinical casuistry. So Philip of Spain abetted the massacres of Alva, but rigorously performed all the rites of the Church; and the Italian bandit will carefully honor priest, and host, and church.
"In the venta; he is sleeping. He is not afraid of the fleas. Why are you taking away my horse?" I then observed that, in order to prevent any noise, Antonio had carefully wrapped the animal's feet in the remains of an old sack. "Hush!" said Antonio. "That man there is José Navarro, the most famous bandit of Andalusia. There are two hundred ducats for whoever gives him up.
"So, if you do not marry soon, it will be too late." "What's that?" she looked up, not able to believe she had understood. "Now, my frand 'ere, 'e wish to marry wiz you. Why, I do not know."

"Shall he come wiz me to Mexico," the bandit piled it on, "I will give 'im planty wives, young, beautiful...."
The events immediately connected with this tragedy, the result of which was the ending of the Younger gang, were as hereinafter described. Bill Chadwell, alias Styles, a member of the James boys gang, had formerly lived in Minnesota. He drew a pleasing picture of the wealth of that country, and the ease with which it could be obtained by bandit methods.
You're in bad out here on the border. You might as well fall in with us." "I'd rather go alone." "But you won't last." "It's a lot I care." The bandit studied the reckless, white face. "See here, Cleve haven't you got the nerve to be bad thoroughly bad?" Cleve gave a start as if he had been stung. Joan shut her eyes to blot out what she saw in his face.
