But mobs don't jump one man, lady not around these parts unless he's stole a hoss!" "I don't ask no help," said Lew Hervey, but his voice was husky and uneven. "I'll stand my ground with any man, gun-fighter or not!" "Please be quiet and let me handle this affair," said the girl. "As a matter of fact, it's ended. If you won't take the money from Mr. Hervey, I'll pay it to you myself. How much?"
"I I hope I hit him a little." "Wal, if you didn't sting him, then Jim Wilson knows nothin' about lead." "Jim Wilson? Are you the man the outlaw my uncle Al knew?" "Reckon I am, miss. Fer I knowed Al shore enough. What 'd he say aboot me?" "I remember once he was telling me about Snake Anson's gang. He mentioned you. Said you were a real gun-fighter.
But it was a rather sad interview. The old fellow had gone to pieces, and soon after I left he got lost in a blizzard and was dead when they found him. Bill Jones was a gun-fighter and also a good man with his fists. On one occasion there was an election in town.
So the first impression of Red Jim was created on the ranch, an impression which might be dispelled by the first real test of the man, or which in the absence of such a test might cling to him forever: Perris was a conceited gun-fighter, heart-breaker, and bully.
But a chill sense of guilt, a premonition of danger, stayed in Gregg. The palms of his hands grew moist. Dangerous men were no novelty for Gregg. He had lived with them, worked with them, as hard-fisted himself as any, and as ready for trouble, but the man of the mountain-desert has a peculiar dread for the practiced, known gun-fighter.
I was very dizzy and nauseated from their kicks in the stomach and blind from blood that ran down out of a cut in my forehead Curt Dawson wore a heavy ring still I had the satisfaction of seeing that "Bud" was badly lamed, possibly from a twisted ankle, and that the gun-fighter himself was far from fresh.
"It ain't possible. Sally ain't the kind to make a fool of herself about any man, let alone a gun-fighter." "That's what I thought, but I seen her back up this Bard ag'in' a roomful of men. And she'll keep on backin' him till he's got his toes turned up." "That's another reason for you to get Bard, eh? Well, I can't send you after him, Nash. That's final." "Not a bit.
Pete had witnessed too many horse-trades to accept this proposal at once. His face expressed deep cogitation, as he flicked the ashes from his cigarette and shook his head. "I dunno. Roth is a pretty good boss. 'Course, he ain't no gun-fighter and that's kind of in your favor " "What hombre say I make fight with gun?" queried Montoya. "Why, everybody!
Your easiest way out is through that window, but you can go by rail if you prefer." The black beard wasted half his allowed time in an effort at bluster; then, to Hamlin's utter disgust, slunk through the open window and across the darkened parlor. "The pusillanimous cuss," the latter muttered, "he 's worse than a cur dog. Blamed if he was n't actually afraid of me. A gun-fighter pugh!"
He went to Dodge City once and when he came back he made a bluff at being a bad man. He was a swaggering, bragging, drinking gun-fighter. He talked of the men he'd shot, of the fights he'd had. He dressed like some of those gun-throwing gamblers.... He was in love with my sister Nell. She hated him. He followed us out West and he has hung on our actions like a sneaking Indian.
