They took him to Warm Springs afterward he'd weakened his mind answerin' questions but he left his family well pervided for. Teeters," earnestly, "why don't you put your money in somethin' substantial stock in the Ditch Company, or Prouty real estate?" Teeters shook his head.
It's been filed on before. We made a mistake and filed on the wrong section. When me and Billy went to file, I noticed the clerk said something about havin' neighbors on the claim next, but I was scared of answerin' too many questions, so I give him some cigars and beat it." "Who owns our claim, then?" "That's the queer part of it. You know the guy we give the water to the one that died out there.
"Nobody henders your gettin' at me," said Mr. Bickford composedly. "But that ain't answerin' my question." "If I didn't respect them two gentlemen too much, I'd shoot you where you stand," said the Pike man. "I've got a shootin'-iron myself, old Rip-tail, and I'm goin' to use it if necessary."
