The collection of individuals that responded to the call were noteworthy examples of "gun-play" and their aggregate value was at par with twice their numbers in cavalry. Each ranch had one large ranch-house and numerous line-houses scattered along the boundaries.
"Are you a son of that Duane who was a gunfighter some years back?" "Yes," replied Duane. "Never met him, and glad I didn't," said Bland, with a grim humor. "So you got in trouble and had to go on the dodge? What kind of trouble?" "Had a fight." "Fight? Do you mean gun-play?" questioned Bland. He seemed eager, curious, speculative. "Yes. It ended in gun-play, I'm sorry to say," answered Duane.
Brittler's hand shot into his pocket as if for a revolver. "Stop there, Cap!" warned Dolph's voice. "No gun-play! 'Tisn't necessary. We can handle 'em." He flung himself suddenly on Spurling; another man leaped upon Lane. Though taken completely by surprise and almost hurled backward, Jim quickly recovered his balance. A sledge-hammer blow from Dolph's fist grazed his jaw as he sprang aside.
Pearce put the vigilantes to watchin' them jest to prove his claim.... Aw! I've got the proofs! Jest wait. Listen to me!... You all never in your lives seen a snake like Red Pearce. An' the job he had put up on us was grand. To-day he was to squeal on the whole gang. You know how he began on Kells an' how with his oily tongue he asked a guarantee of no gun-play.
"You ain't heeled, are ye? This ain't goin' t' be no gun-play eh?" "No, I haven't a gun, but I've brought his neckerchief." "Sufferin' Pete!" murmured the Spider in a strangely awed voice, and walked on in silence, chewing viciously.
He was sitting in his office with young William Breckenbridge, his diplomatic deputy, when some one brought word that John Ringo had made a gun-play and was holding down the main street with drawn revolvers. "Go and fetch him in," the sheriff bade Breckenbridge.
How would this lean lawyer stand up under intimidation, bribes, threats? "I trust so, Martinez," said he. "Do you think they will try to get me sometime by an out-and-out gun-play?" "No, no, no." "Do you think they could if they tried?" Weir inquired, grimly. The attorney paused with finger and thumb on the point of his mustache, lifted his eyebrows and smiled broadly.
James could come along with a whole army of desperadoes, once they had rid themselves of their "dust." They then would no longer have anything to lose except their lives, and those they were always prepared to risk in anything so enterprising as a little honest gun-play. It was noon when Wild Bill was stirring.
It was while they were engaged in this spectacular exhibition of horsemanship, gun-play, and vocalization that Bud's sweetheart rode into town to execute some commissions in preparation for Echo Allen's wedding.
Bland ain't likely his right name. He knows a lot. He can doctor you, an' he's shore a knowin' feller with tools. He's the kind thet rules men. Outlaws are always ridin' in here to join his gang, an' if it hadn't been fer the gamblin' an' gun-play he'd have a thousand men around him." "How many in his gang now?" "I reckon there's short of a hundred now. The number varies.
