The camp will be on the alert to meet the enemy. Their keen-eyed scouts can read the story of his being lassoed and carried away from the traces of the deed. The young rover concludes he is to be taken before some superior officer, some soldier charged with defending Upper California. This view is confirmed.
He must be getting rattled." "Don't you see, Jerry, they've got him lassoed? He wants to tackle any one of those three cowboys, but he just can't, with as many ropes pulling him in three directions." "Talk to me about that, will you, Frank!" cried Jerry. "I never expected to see a grizzly bear held up in a rope like a steer. Look at the game little ponies on their haunches, and holding like fun.
And then suppose we hear that a rival of his has been lassoed with a rope, his throat then cut, apparently with a razor, and his body hidden in a well, we do not call in Sherlock Holmes to project a preliminary suspicion about the guilty party.
The grizzly gave a spasmodic jerk as if stung and suddenly he made a prodigious leap off a ledge, down into a patch of brush, where he threshed like a lassoed elephant. "Ben, you hit him!" I yelled, excitedly. "Only made him mad. He's not hurt.... See, he's up again.... Will you look at that!"
It was not more than a week after this that the lunatic was seen on a house-top hurling bricks down on the passers-by. He was at last lassoed with a rope and taken to the station-house. He butted his brains out against the iron bars of his cell and killed himself. I was playing monte one night on the Robert E. Lee, when a fellow stepped up to the table and bet me $800.
Venner came back for his beast, he was as wild as if he had just been lassoed, screaming, kicking, rolling over to get rid of his saddle, and when his rider was at last mounted, jumping about in a way to dislodge any common horseman.
It doesn't do to be too confident, you know," smiled Peggy, throwing an arm round the waist of her enthusiastic friend. "As the man said when he thought he'd lassoed a horse but found he'd roped his own foot instead;" grinned Jimsy, "but, say, what's all this coming up the road?" Sure enough, a small crowd of ten or a dozen persons could be seen approaching the Prescott house.
Any man with horse sense would know that it takes years to learn how to rope steers, and keep from being tipped off the horse, and run over by a procession of cows, but because Pa had lassoed hitching posts in his youth, with a clothes line, with a slip noose in it, he posed among cowboys as being an expert roper, and where did he land? In the cactus.
"I don't have to know nothin'. She can run an iron on me any time she wants to. I'm lassoed, thrown an' tied, a'ready." "Which yuh finds me hornin' in before she makes any selection, yuh mottled-topped son of a gun!" Dave warmly put in.
Until that coveted steed had been lassoed, stolen, or bought, I must only endeavour to justify my existence that is to say, render value for the money expended on me by picking up "copy" anywhere and everywhere. I was advised to go to Bilbao by sea, but the advice came too late.
