"He seems to have mo' men than yo'," murmured Kid Wolf. "Yuh don't know the half of it. A dozen more of his hired gunmen rode south on the Chisholm Trail this mornin'." "What does that signify?" "Plenty," McCay explained. "Six o' my men are drivin' fifteen hundred steers up this way. Quite a haul, yuh see, for Hardy. They're due here tonight.
Annie lifted her hands in a little gesture of despair. "I'm dead sick of this game. What's there in it? I live straight and eat in a beanery. No lobster palaces in mine. Look at me cheap duds. And Tim gives me the over like I was a street cat. What sort of a chance did I ever have, with toughs and gunmen for me friends?" "You've got yore chance now, Annie.
The deadliness of the automobile in hunting already is so apparent that North Dakota has wisely and justly forbidden their use by law, .

The Reds called this "Government by Gunmen," and the writer in his muckraking days wrote a novel about it, "King Coal." The man who directed the militia during this coal strike was A. C. Felts of the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency, who was killed just the other day while governing several coal counties in West Virginia.
The little man was waving his arms in wild gestures; his eyes seemed about to start out of his head. "Take 'em off! Whole bunch fellers gunmen! People see them come out back door. Got ever'body's arm tied. Gunmen fellers hold 'em, don't let 'em holler, can't do nothin'! Got them cars waitin' what you call? "Automobiles?" "Sure, got three!
