"I've got 'im, boys!" he cried in a frenzy, "come on, we'll string 'im up! We'll show 'im if he can jump Rimrock's claim!" He came striding from the crowd, one arm hanging limp the other dragging the cursing Ike Bray. "You got me!" he snarled, shaking Bray like a rat, "but dang you, I've got you, too!"
That interview had resulted in Rimrock's first clash with Stoddard, and he had hated him ever since; for a man who would demand a controlling interest in a mine for simply lending his name was certainly one who was fully capable of grabbing the rest if he could. So Rimrock had fought him; but for Buckbee, the broker, he had nothing but the best of good will.
I could speak on this further, but I simply make a motion that Tecolote be kept a temperance camp." He paused and met Rimrock's baleful glance with a thin-lipped fighting smile; and then the battle was on. There were hot words in plenty and mutual recrimination, but Stoddard held the high moral ground.
Oh, you dad-burned idiot you ignorant baboon you were drunk, that's why you signed up!" Rimrock's pitiful rage at that other personality that had marred his fair hopes in his mine that perverse, impulsive, overweening inner spirit that took the helm at each crisis of his life was a rage to make the gods above weep if they did not laugh at the jest.
Whitney Stoddard was a man rated high up in the millions, but he was fallible like the rest. His wealth, compared to Rimrock's was as a hundred dollars to one, but it was spread out a hundred times as far; and with his next dividend, which was due in December, Rimrock would have nearly a million in cash.
