The sight so angered him that he stopped abruptly and brought his rifle to his shoulder, with the intention of shooting the marauder from his horse. This would have been done the next instant but for the exclamation of Grizzly Weber. Despite the noise and confusion, the Indian heard him and saw his danger.
Von Weber, Ministerial-rath and Head of the Royal Archives of Saxony, for the courtesy and kindness extended to me so uniformly during the course of my researches in that city. I would also speak a word of sincere thanks to Mr. Campbell, Assistant Librarian at the Hague, for his numerous acts of friendship during the absence of, his chief, M. Holtrop.
At various points on their journey squads of militia were encountered, and in Echo Cañon there was a command of several hundred.

The glitter and plagiarism of Rossini, the ponderous science of Weber, and the absolute trash of all our English composers.
General Pettigrew was killed by Weber or one of his men. Until the battle was over I did not know what fearful losses had befallen the regiment. The total casualties were 33 killed and 56 wounded.
"You must remember that the sky above us is a pretty large place, and at any rate we're a drawing power. We're always pulling something out of the ether." "And our biggest catch is coming now! Look, Weber, look I If that isn't one of Herr Zeppelin's railroad trains of the air then I'll eat it when it gets here!" "You're right, Mr. Scott. There the monster comes.
Recovering from their surprise, the confederate infantry rallied, and seizing their arms, made short work of their daring assailants. In a few minutes, of the three officers in the charge, two Weber and Bolza lay dead on the field, and the other Crawford had his leg shattered so it had to be amputated.
