'Haven't you got gumption enough not to drink swamp water or fall down and scream whenever you have a little colic or feel a mosquito bite you? He made me a little mad. "'You've got the bedside manners of a Piute medicine man, says I. 'And I wish you'd go away and let me die a natural death. I'm sorry I sent for you. "'I've a mind to, says George, 'for nobody cares whether you live or die.
We made the gates to keep the sheep in, and they'll serve a turn. If you get the wild horses on the bench send Piute for me at once." They passed the Indian herding the sheep into a corral built against an uprising ridge of stone. Naab dispatched him to look for the dead coyotes.
Accordingly, a messenger was despatched to the Piute camp. And Shefford, with time on his hands and poignant memory to combat, decided to recall his keen interest in the Navajo, and learn, if possible, what the Indian's life was like. What would a day of his natural life be?
His keen eye had caught the significance of the narrowing level before he had reached the end. He pointed and spoke. Shefford heard his voice. The others replied. They all looked up at the steep slope, down into the chasm right below them, and across into the cedars. The Piute in the rear succeeded in turning his horse, went back, and began to circle up the slope.
"I do, you darned ol' Piute," shouted Reeves joyously. "I never will forget how the sky pilot's coat-tails spread. You could 'a' played checkers on 'em. D'you reckon we'd ought to send a wreckin' crew after Melancthon T. Browning?" "Why, no. The way he was clamped to that Blue Streak's back you couldn't pry him loose with a crowbar." "Here he c-comes now," Blister announced.

Every Piute who took the Appeal saw the advertisement, which went on to state that hot and cold water could be got into every room in the house, and that electric bells, baths, silver-voiced chambermaids, over-charges, and everything else connected with a first-class hotel, could be found at that place.
That Culver would now be ready, as never before, to receive a proposition whereby the owners of the "Laughing Water" claim could be deprived of their ground, he was well convinced. For reasons best known to himself and skillfully concealed from all acquaintances, McCoppet had remained practically in hiding since the moment in which he had beheld that half-breed Piute Indian in the saloon.
There are perhaps one hundred and fifty people, of whom a hundred are Piute and Shoshone Indians, and the remainder a mingled company of whites and Chinese railroaders; and among them all it is difficult to say who are the most taken with the novelty of the exhibition the red, the yellow, or the white.
Trimmer was not in a hurry. He eyed the man across the table calmly, his small, shifting optics dully gleaming. Presently he said; "Cayuse is here in camp." Cayuse was the half-breed Piute Indian whose company McCoppet had avoided.
