"Talk don't hurt nothin'. Stick along an' git your fingers into the fightin' what's bound to come." "I'm going away to kill Injuns," was the calm reply. "That's my business." "Hacker, Scott 'n' me will go along with you," said Runner. "Now that Howard's Creek has got a trader to keep the Injuns off, we ain't needed here no more." "I can keep the Indians away," cried Dale.
Hacker had reported five cabins. Now there were seven, and if the people continued to arrive there must soon be twice that number. At the first of it the overflow would take up quarters among those already housed, or in the fort when it was finished. Ordinarily a settler girdled his trees and chopped them down when they were dead, and then burned them into long logs.
It was obvious that the settlers as a body would not tolerate any attack on Dale. Inarticulate with rage, Hughes beckoned for Hacker, Scott and Runner to follow him. A few rods away he halted and called out: "Dale, I'll live to hear how your red friends have danced your scalp. Then I'll go out and shoot some of them.
My contribution of muscle soon brought Runner's head into view. We held the rope taut while he dragged himself on to the ledge. "Did you git it?" eagerly demanded Hacker. The triumphant grin was surety for his success down the crevice. He rose and tapped a fresh scalp dangling at his belt. "I got it," he grimly replied.

The upper half of each turnip had been eaten off by the live-stock, and it was the business of the two women to grub up the lower or earthy half of the root with a hooked fork called a hacker, that it might be eaten also.
"I thank you very heartily, my Lord," said Charles, "for that I had almost forgotten it. There were some more words, addressed particularly to Hacker and the other officers; and once more, seeing a gentleman go too near the axe, he called out, "Take heed of the axe; pray, take heed of the axe."
William White, William Hacker and John Cutright massacred five inoffensive Indian families at Bulltown on the Little Kanawha as a reprisal for the Stroud family, slain on Elk River. Elijah Runner, who Cousin believed had killed Bald Eagle, was yet another with an insatiable thirst for red blood. Many others were notorious Injun-killers.

I'll see Sarah and tell her that you've changed your mind about the cottage to call it a cottage, for 'tis no better than a pig's lew house.
