Well, I've got one myself and I know my legal rights and if any man puts out his hand to take away this bag, I've got a right to shoot him dead! Ain't that right now, Mr. Flip Flappum?" "Well the law gives one the right to defend his own property; but only with sufficient force to resist the attack, and to shoot would be excessive."
Well, listen, kid you ever been to school? Then how much is one-sixth and one-third add 'em together! Makes three-sixths, don't it well, ain't that a half? I ain't educated, that's all right; but I can think, kid, can't I? Flip Flappum he wants to get control. Give him a half, under my contract, and he can take possession and then where do I git off?
That's another dirty dog that I'm going to put my mark on when I get him in the door one of the most low-down, contemptible curs that I know of he makes his living by selling bum life insurance. Phillip F. Lapham is his name but we all call him Flip Flappum he's the black-leg lawyer that drew up that contract that made me lose my mine.
It was the infamy of it all; the humiliation, the disgrace, the insult of being trimmed by a lawyer twice! Yes, twice in the same place, with the same contract, the same system; and now this same Flip Flappum was busy as a hunting dog trying to hire one of his partners to sell him out! Wunpost towered above Old Whiskers, and so terrible was his presence that the saloon-keeper never hinted at pay.
That's his job, when he ain't licking old Judson Eells' boots or framing up some crooked deal with Flappum; and then he went back and told Eells. And then Eells you know him being as he'd stole the mine from me, like all crooks he thought it was valuable. Was it up to me then to go to Mr. Eells and tell him that the mine was salted? Would you have done it would anybody?
"Oh, is that Judson Eells?" broke in Billy quickly and Wunpost nodded his head. "That's the hombre," he said his voice waxing louder, "he's one of these grubstake sharks. He came to Nevada after the Tonopah excitement with a flunkey they call Flip Flappum.
Phillip F. Flappum, can make me come through with any part of it? Well, I consulted a lawyer before I left Los Angeles and he said decidedly not! Your contract calls for claims, wherever located, but I haven't got any claim.
