Jonathan saw Wetzel handle Jim and his pal, Deering, as if they were mere boys. Well, as I said, the border has had, and still has, its bad men. Simon Girty took McKee and Elliott, the Tories, from Fort Pitt, when he deserted, and ten men besides. They're all, except those who are dead, outlaws of the worst type. The other bad men drifted out here from Lord only knows where.
The fact that the negro question has continued so long has been owing to the great care with which the Republican party has managed it." Mr. McKee, of Kentucky, followed.
We all struck out with the men, and after riding perhaps five miles, we came to the settlement and found that one man had been killed and all the horses and cattle belonging to the people had been driven off. Capt. McKee asked if they knew what tribe of Indians had made the attack.
When we were picking the turkeys, the boss said to the cook, "Say, John, can't you preserve one of these birds, so it will keep until we get to Santa Fe, and we will present it to Capt. McKee?" John answered, "I am afraid it would not keep, Boss.
Boon's narrative says seventeen on each side. But McKee says only six Indians were killed and three wounded; and Bombardier Homan, in the letter already quoted, says six were killed and two captured, who were afterwards slain.
It's Slim Hoover's, anyhow. If Jack Payson can marry your brother Dick's gal on Dick's money fer there's no hope o' stoppin' that now you can cut Slim out with Polly, on Slim's salary. Aw, take the money!" and McKee pressed half of the bills into Bud's lax fingers. The young man's hand closed upon them mechanically.
McKee, springing up with an energy that scattered the sticks he was piling, tore the reptile loose, hurled it upon the ground, and stamped it into the earth. Then he picked up one of the brands and with it cauterized the wound. All the while he was cursing volubly the snake, himself, and even Dick Lane, who was now lying in a dead faint caused by the torture. "Damn such a prospector!
I only came for a month's trial." "And the pharmacy?" "Elliott's, at the corner of State Avenue and McKee Street." I told her that it would not be necessary for her to go to the pharmacy, and she muttered something about the children and went up the stairs. When Sperry came back with the opiate she was nowhere in sight, and he was considerably annoyed. "She knows something," I told him.
McKee reported that the Indians could find no trace of the gun-wheels the gun was carried on a pack-horse, and so he thought that the Kentuckians were forced to leave it behind on their retreat. A very common feat of the small frontier historian was to put high praise of his own side in the mouth of a foe.
"What makes you point to me as the man?" asked Jack quietly. "You was late gettin' to your own weddin'." Fresno could not repress his feelings any longer. He started angrily toward McKee, but Jack and Sage-brush held him back. The others were about to follow his lead, when Slim motioned them back with the caution: "Keep out of this, boys!"
