The weapons with which we have gained our most important victories, which should be handed down as heirlooms from father to son, are not the sword and the lance, but the bushwhack, the turf-cutter, the spade, and the bog-hoe, rusted with the blood of many a meadow, and begrimed with the dust of many a hard-fought field.
"Well, how do you know but that man Swanson saw him when he went in?" "I don't know it," replied Merrick. "But even if he did see Percival go in, these 'Mergency men won't never say a word to me about it, kase they know well enough that if they should hurt a hair of my head, some of my friends would bushwhack 'em to pay for it.
And it would have been so dead easy to turn the tables and bushwhack him," he added regretfully. "If only I'd have used my head in time." A sick chill swept the girl as she thought of an enemy with the patience to kill a cow every day, use it for a decoy and wait for a chance at his human prey. The cows that grazed on the meadow raced off ahead of them.
Jim Clanton called his friend to one side. "I'm goin' to sneak out an' take a lick at them fellows, Billie. Want to go along?" "What's yore notion? How're you goin' to manage it?" "Me, I'm goin' to bushwhack Warren or some of his killers from the chaparral." Prince had seen once before that cold glitter in the eyes of the hill man.
"Moncrossen said 'twa'nt safe to bushwhack him like I wanted to said how I ain't got nerve nor brains to stand no investigation. "But if he'd git burnt up in the shack, that's safer yet. He got that booze somewhere some one knows he had it. He got spiflicated, built a roarin' fire in the old stove an' there y'are, plain as daylight. No brains!
She's too smart to be shot in the open. But I'm goin' to lay for her. I'll bushwhack her as sure as my name is Bill." "You needn't stray off too far in doin' it," his partner admonished. "If that pack ever starts to jump you, them three cartridges'd be wuth no more'n three whoops in hell. Them animals is damn hungry, an' once they start in, they'll sure get you, Bill."
Tell him I'll give him back his eight thousand dollar automobile if he will agree on his own behalf and that of his employees, agents and friends, not to bushwhack me or any person connected with me." "I have already made him a tentative offer to that effect, my boy, and, now that the first flush of his rage is over, he is a coyote lacking the courage to kill.
"I'm with you heart and soul, all except going among the Yankees," said Hawkins, after Marcy had made him understand what he had on his mind. "I'm sorter jubus that they won't let me come away when I want to. Why couldn't we bushwhack Hanson, and not go nigh Plymouth at all?" "Shoot him behind his back?" cried Marcy. "Look here, Hawkins, I hope you are not that sort.
N-never heard of a hold-up gettin' up a petition for better street lights, did you? No, an' you n-never will. An' you never n-noticed a guy who was aimin' to bushwhack another from the brush go to clearin' off the sage first. He ain't l-lookin' for no open arguments on the m-merits of his shootin'. Not none. Same with that Cheyenne bird an' his stocky pal acrost the table.
I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I say I didn't swoop down on him every time I got a chance; that I didn't bushwhack no matter if he believed I did." "No?" MacRae said incredulously. "You didn't break up a logging venture on the Claha when he had a chance to make a stake? You didn't show your fine Italian hand in that marble quarry undertaking on Texada?
