He was down on the ranch, and when they told him the news " "Yes, that's you," she railed, stifling back her sobs, "you can always prove an alibi. But you'd better drift, Mr. Holman; because if mother knows you're here " "Well, what?" he demanded, truculently. "She'll fill you full of buckshot." "Pah!" he scoffed and snapped his fingers in the air, after which he lapsed into silence.
I followed the Lapps on my skees, and though I lagged behind, as I could not go as fast as they did, one of the girls remained with me to show me the way, and now and then she would stop and scan the country for wolves. I was armed with my double-barrelled shotgun loaded with buckshot. "Oh, if I could encounter the wolves," I said to myself, "what havoc I would make amongst them."
With a glance Jimmie measured the distance between himself and the stranger. Reassured, he lifted one leg after the other over the wall. "If you try to rush me," he warned, "I'll shoot you full of buckshot." The stranger took a hasty step backward. "Don't worry about that," he exclaimed. "I'll not rush you. Why am I arrested?"

Each barrel contains about twenty buckshot, and at close range their blast would be so terrific that you'd make an awful looking corpse." "I hold up my hands a long time. Don't want to be any kind of a corpse." "That's the good boy. Steady now.

Groaning heavily and in a state of semi-unconsciousness he was driven by Turner, in the same buggy in which he had been shot, to Doctor Price's house, which lay between Mink Run and the town. The doctor examined the wound, which was serious. A charge of buckshot had been fired at close range, from a clump of bushes by the wayside, and the charge had taken effect in the side of the face.
