You're to run off them cattle of Lawler's three thousand head which he euchered me out of last fall. You're takin' three thousand head, Slade not a one less. If you take less you're through with me. You'll run 'em down through Kinney's cañon, clear through to the big basin beyond. At the other end you'll head 'em south, to Mexico where we've been runnin' 'em for three years past.
"Great Methuselah!" ejaculated Zeb. "Can someone have stolen a march on us?" "I don't know, but it looks queer, and see, there's a shovel. Somebody has been digging here." "But who could it be?" demanded Tom, mystified. "Gosh! Looks as if we've bin euchered after all," grumbled Zeb. The Wondership came to earth at the edge of the lifeless-looking, bare space.
After Rod and his friends this boastful business man was dull and tedious. Whenever he laughed at an account of his superior craft how he had bluffed this man, how he had euchered that one she smiled. And so in one more case the common masculine delusion that women listen to them on the subject of themselves, with interest and admiration as profound as their own, was not impaired.
A member of Benny Havens's church has a right to backslide anywhere, especially as the Colonel doesn't seem to be any worse than some of the rest of us, who haven't fallen from grace the least particle, but took our stand at the start just where we are now. A fellow that begins with a handful of trumps has a right to play a risky game." "I know what euchered him, Wallis.
"O, duplicate's something that you ring in on a feller like a cold deck." "I don't understand," said Harry. "Why hem hem duplicate's the new-fangled college word for anything that you have up your sleeve to flatten a feller when he thinks he's got you euchered. You want to deal the other feller only left bowers and keep the right bowers for yourself. Them's duplicates.
We're tied up, by grab, with more whereases and wherefores, and the parties of the first part, and so on, than you'd find in a book of law; and the boys all found out from what he did to me that he had us euchered at every turn. I thought I could fool him by covering up the hole " "Oh, did you do that!" burst out Billy reproachfully, "and I made Dusty Rhodes apologize!"
We wuz boss and hoss on the first two games; on the saw-off we had four pints apiece. I dealt and turned up the seven o' spades. Jed ordered me up, and then tried to ring in on me a right bower from another deck, but I knowed he hadn't it, because I'd tried to ketch it in the deal, but missed it an' slung it under the table. I made Jed play fair, and euchered him, with only two trumps in my hand.

Elias P. Hutcheson when he saw her was amused, and his eyes positively sparkled with fun as he said: 'Darned if the squaw hain't got on all her war paint! Jest give her a shove off if she comes any of her tricks on me, for I'm so fixed everlastingly by the boss, that durn my skin if I can keep my eyes from her if she wants them! Easy there, Judge! don't you slack that ar rope or I'm euchered!
Ralston had been euchered out of a railroad to Eureka, planned by Harpending and himself and opposed by the Big Four; "Montgomery to the Bay" was meeting with a host of difficulties; the Grand Hotel was building and Kearny street, where he owned property, was being widened. Ralston's genial countenance showed sometimes a little strained pucker between the eyes.
