There's a few has moved into town, but mostly the place is all pilgrims and nesters."
But of late there had been little contentment for the Two Diamond manager. For six months cattle thieves had been at work on his stock. The result of the spring round-up had been far from satisfactory. He knew of the existence of nesters in the vicinity; one of them Radford he had suspected upon evidence submitted by the range boss.
And I want to tell you this, too, Mr. Keller. It doesn't make any hit with me that you're one of those thieving nesters. Moreover, there's another charge against you. In the Malpais country we hang rustlers. The boys claim to have you cinched. We'll see." "Who's that with Curly?" Pesky called out. "By Moses, it's a woman!" "It is the Sanderson girl," Weaver said in surprise.
Nesting is over, say you, when you start out on your tramps in late summer or early autumn; but do not be too sure. The gray purse of the oriole has begun to ravel at the edges and the haircloth cup of the chipping sparrow is already wind-distorted, but we shall find some housekeeping just begun. The goldfinch is one of these late nesters.
He's foreman of the Sawtooth, and he knows the agreement.

He sat grinding his bridle-reins in his gloved hand, as if he had the bones of the nesters in his palm at last. "You will proceed, with the rescued party under guard, to Meander," continued Major King to his officer, speaking as if he had plans for his own employment aside from the expedition. "There, Mr. Chadron will furnish transportation to return them whence they came."
Irish did not worry at all over their reason for wanting him, but he did not intend to let them come close enough to state their errand, because he did not want to become guilty of resisting an officer which would be much worse than fighting nesters with fists and chairs and bottles and things.
It was a land peopled by a hard-bitten race of nesters come from God knows where and for God knows why starved in mind and body, slaves of a hideous environment from which they lacked means of escape.
