It's the only one that will satisfy my friends." "That's true," said Sanders. "Steve Russell is bringin' hawsses," said Bob. "We'll ride out to the Bend to-night and be ready for business there at the first streak of light. Must be some trail left by the hold-ups." Crawford shook his head. "Probably not. Applegate had a posse out there right away. You know Applegate.
The ice is breakin' up; an' if our candidate sets in his saddle steady an' with wisdom at this back-thumpin', name-callin' epock, an' don't take to millin' 'round for trouble, in two minutes him an' that gregar'ous gent who's accosted him is drinkin' an' fraternizin' together like two stage hold-ups in a strange camp. The West ain't ornery; she's simply reserved a whole lot.
McCloud, I know it!" he interposed urgently, "but let me speak to you just a moment." Hat in hand, Bill, because no one would knock him down to keep him out, pushed into the room.

You've probably wondered what becomes of old crooks. Walker is of course an unusual specimen, for he knew when the quitting was good, and having salted away a nice little fortune accumulated in express hold-ups, he dwells here in peace and passes the hat at the meeting house every Sunday.

As he says, if somebody don't head Boggs off, them deloosions spreads, an' the first news you gets, Wolfville's holdin' table- tippin's an' is goin' all spraddled out on seances an' sim'lar imbecilities, same as them sperit-rappin' hold-ups one encounters in the East.

One celebrated gang, headed by the famous outlaw, Black Jack, operated mostly on a railway to the north of us and another railway to the south, the distance between being about 400 miles.
I ain't goin' to have no more hold-ups round this joint. Them ten thousand bucks is goin' to your bank; what do you call it?" "The Commercial Bank of Canada," I answered. "Write a letter to them and ask them to send somebody up to take this darned chest away. A receipt looks good enough to me after this scrap."
"The paper says that there have been several hold-ups lately, and it is believed that they have been done by the same ones who made the assault last night. I am anxious to see Rod to hear what he has to say." "Perhaps the boys will have to stay as witnesses, Daniel." "Sure enough!" and the clergyman put down his cup he was about to raise to his lips. "I never thought of that.
