"He has," said De Launay, shortly. "More than you know." Again the cow-puncher was silent for a space. "Reckon he beefed Dave?" he said at last. "Shouldn't be surprised," said De Launay.

If you-all goes romancin' 'round with hardware at your belt it's even money it'll get you beefed. Allers remember while in Arizona that you'll never get plugged onless by inadvertence as long as you wander about in onheeled innocence. No gunless gent gets downed; sech is the onbreakable roole."

You know or maybe you don't that Panamint was finally found dead in a cave in Death Valley and there was talk that Banker followed him there and beefed him, thinkin' he really had a mine.
