The turbulence of the river in springtime discouraged milling, and, beyond keeping the old red bridge in repair, the busy farmers did not concern themselves with the stream; so the Sandtown boys were left in undisputed possession.
Indians and Mexicans, in picturesque attire, sprinkled the milling mass of humanity with a dash of rainbow color. Dance-halls were running, fare layouts were operating, roulette wheels were spinning. For the time, with the consent of the sheriff and other reformed authorities, Eagle Butte tried hard to be as Eagle Butte was twenty thirty years ago.
A roaring mob came milling toward the platform. "I'll be a martyr!" insisted the alien. "I can't humor you to that extent," replied Morrison, in the tone of a father denying indulgence in the case of a wilful child. He got between the man and the mob. He held Krylovensky from him with one hand and put up the other protestingly, authoritatively.
Rogers took the chair that was not offered him, and sat with his hat-brim on his knees, and its crown pointed towards Lapham. "I want to know what you are going to do," he answered with sufficient self-possession. "I'll tell you, first, what I've done," said Lapham.

He grunts his words, a grunt to each.
The war was only the first phase. There's a mess over there; wanting something and not knowing exactly what, those millions; milling cattle, with neither shed nor pasture. The Lord only knows how long it will take to clarify. Would you mind if I smoked?" "Wow!" cried Burlingame. "Not at all," answered Kitty. "I don't see how any pipe could be worse than Mr. Burlingame's."
It was Manley's first experience in real round-up work, for his own little herd he had managed to keep close at home, and what few strayed afar were turned back, when opportunity afforded, by his neighbors, who wished him well. Now he tasted the pride of ownership to the full, when a VP cow and her calf mingled with the milling Wishbones and Double Diamonds.
