"Thar's two critters down in the crick bottom. I reckon thet Kirby an' Gaskins must'r tied 'em thar." "Good; then you will go; you agree with me?" "Thar ain't nuthin' else fer me ter do hangin' ain't never bin no hobby o' mine. As I understand it, this Gaskins wus one o' these yere militia men.
Then he set his glass down and ordered another bottle for both of them. "No," he observed. "I ain't heard much. I heard there's been some hangin'. The Lightfoot gang, eh? Seems to me I've heard talk of 'em down our way. So you boys here got in on 'em?" Ju set the two fresh bottles on the counter while Bud lit his cigar.
Sometimes we saw a white flag for a second hangin' on top o' a bunch o' berry bushes that was all; most o' th' deer scared out o' th' country, 'n' th' rest wilder 'n' Erne gets when another feller dances with his best gal. "Well, we just had t' give up 'n' own up beat.
"It's like a kid. Give him a new toy and he wants to take it to bed with him. Ever notice?" "Surely." "That's the way with me. When I go to bed nothin' matters with me except that I have my lariat around. I generally like to have it hangin' on a nail at the head of my bunk. The fellers always laugh at me, but I can't help it; makes me feel more at home."
Dey 'splained dat I wuz too 'fluential wid de niggers. When I wuz hangin' dere I did some manful howlin'. Dat howlin' sho brought de white folks. When dey see mah distres' dey 'leased de rope an' I wuz saved. Dat is when I 'pealed to Col. Baker for 'tection.
With a violent start Neuman looked out to see the ghastly placarded figure, and then he sank slowly back in his seat. The cowboys apparently took no notice of him.

Las' time dat ere Widow Willoughby done set aroun' all ebenin' a-tellin' de parson as how folks could jes' eat off'n her kitchen floor, an' I ups an' tells her as how folks could pick up a good, squar' meal off'n MANDY'S floor, too.
I wheeled out a kind of sewing-machine; then I pedaled it while Mike dug into that Injun's hangin' wall like he had a round of holes to shoot before quittin'-time. This here was more in my line, bein' a hard-rock miner myself, and we certainly loaded a fine prospect of gold into that native's bi-cuspidor.

Kape out av the Married Quarters, I say, as I did not. 'Tis onwholesim, 'tis dangerous, an' 'tis ivrything else that's bad, but O my sowl, 'tis swate while ut lasts!
