To the outward eye of men, John Brown was a criminal, but to their inward eye he was a just man and true.
Only a few were of pure blood. The others shaded off until they were absolutely indistinguishable from their white comrades; with whom, it may be mentioned, they all lived on terms of complete equality. Not all of the Indians were from the Indian Territory. One of the gamest fighters and best soldiers in the regiment was Pollock, a full-blooded Pawnee.
A three-inch steel hook, on the end of a stout line, with a piece of white rag for bait, was all that was necessary to catch bonitas weighing from ten to twenty-five pounds. Bonitas feed on flying-fish, wherefore they are unaccustomed to nibbling at the hook. They strike as gamely as the gamest fish in the sea, and their first run is something that no man who has ever caught them will forget.
Me, I go instructed for the other chap Spurious Somebody the one that fought and pulled his freight, to fight 'em on some other day." "Anyway," summed up Broncho, "Bob's about the gamest man I ever see along the Rio Bravo. Great Sam Houston! If she gets any hotter she'll sizzle!"

"You should have thought of that before," was the grim reply. He was adjudged old enough to die, as he had been old enough to kill. George Shears was one of the gamest of the lot.
