And sure enough, he lost another foot-race, and the next morning the cream-colored mare was picketed in front of our tent. Well, this didn't look good to me, and I told Mike so. I never was much of a hand to take money from women, so I served a warnin' on him that if we didn't get down to business pretty quick and make our clean-up I proposed to leave him flat on his back.
Now you know why they have been fighting us so desperately, and why, as a final resort, they are willing to pay us five million dollars for a quit-claim to the Little Clean-Up.

I've got some of the Triangle boys, and we're goin' to make a clean-up." "You ain't goin' to do nothin' unless I say so. We don't want no range-war we'll git the man that did the killin'. Come on," commanded Sage-brush.
We're all ready for the killing the big clean-up!" He turned to Maggie. "Great stuff, Maggie. I knew you could put it over. Of course you're going?"
