Arbuckle," Jack had said. "I'm sorry, but I hev given my word ter Pawnee an' I wouldn't break it fer a cool million, thet's me." "Let us go with the boomers!" Dick had returned enthusiastically. "It will be lots of fun, father, and it will give you a chance to get back your health before you tie yourself down to those silver mine schemes."
In some instances the race was made in the wagons, but in many cases a solitary horseman acted as pioneer and galloped ahead, in order to secure prior claim to a coveted, well-watered quarter-section. Shortly before the hour of noon, a number of boomers on the northern frontier made an effort to advance in spite of the protests of the soldiers on guard.
And let's give them a tax credit to make that choice an affordable one. When the Baby Boomers retire, Medicare will be faced with caring for twice as many of our citizens and yet it is far from ready to do so. My generation must not ask our children's generation to shoulder our burden. We must strengthen and modernize Medicare now.
A few days after that, a gang of the La Junta boomers came to the ranch and wanted us to go back with them. Naturally, we declined. We had the house on them, and before we were done refusing, that old 'dobe was plumb full of lead. When dark came we fagged 'em a batch of bullets and shoved out the back door for the rocks. They sure smoked us as we went.
We've got another prisoner besides yourself, and between the two of you I reckon we'll find out before long just what the boomers are up to." And with a dark look upon his face, Louis Vorlange stalked out of the apartment, locking the door after him, and thus leaving Nellie to her fate. "Pawnee Brown at last!" The words came from one of the boomers, a fat but spry old chap named Dunbar.
Much has been written of Texas by immigration boomers, "able editors" and others, with an eye single to the almighty dollar. Its healthfulness, delightful climate, undeveloped resources, churches, schools, etc., have been expatiated upon times without number, but little has been said of its transcendent beauty. The average "able editor" is not a very aesthetic animal.
"I shall answer no more of your questions, sir. Let me go!" "You'll come along with me," muttered Vorlange. "I take it you know what the boomers intend to do, and, if that is so, your information is just what the government wants." So speaking he attempted to drag Nellie up the rocks to the opening before mentioned.
Oh, if only I had died with you!" and he sank back utterly overcome. "We move in an hour!" This was the word which was whispered about the boomers' camp shortly after Pawnee Brown's arrival. The great scout had found it out of the question to attempt to enter the Indian Territory in a direct route from Arkansas City.
"Mortimer Arbuckle said as how he was coming hyer fer his health, but kick me ef I kin see it." "I think myself the man has an axe to grind," responded the leader of the boomers. "You know he came West to see about some land." "Oh, I know thet. But thar's somethin' else, sure ez shootin' ez shootin', Pawnee. It kinder runs in my noddle thet he is a'lookin' fer somebuddy." "Who?"
"Ha, ha! where have I been?" cried Pumpkin. "Where haven't I been you had better ask. I've been everywhere among the soldiers and the boomers and the Indians." He stopped short. "Where is Pawnee Brown?" "Ofer py Clemmer's vagon. But he ton't vont ter pother mit you now." "He will bother with me," and so speaking Pumpkin ran off, to reach the great scout's side and pluck him by the coat sleeve.
