The Skinners, the Peakers, the Tilgmans, the Lockermans, and the Gipsons, are in the same boat; being slaveholding neighbors, they may have strengthened each other in their iron rule. They are on intimate terms, and their interests and tastes are identical. Public opinion in such a quarter, the reader will see, is not likely to very efficient in protecting the slave from cruelty.
The men at Dry Creek Station have all been killed and it is thought those at Robert's Creek have met with the same fate. Six Pike's Peakers found the body of the station keeper horribly mutilated, the station burned, and all the stock missing from Simpson's. Eight horses were stolen from Smith's Creek on last Monday, supposedly by road agents.
"Do you remember," asked Hubbard, "the slogan of the old Pike's Peakers? 'Pike's Peak or Bust?" "Yes," said I; "and very often they busted." "Well," said Hubbard, "we'll adopt it and change it to our needs. 'Michikamau or Bust, will be our watchword now." And sitting around the fire, we all took it up and repeated determinedly, "Michikamau or Bust!"
