"Fred fought like a house afire; he killed one of the rustlers, but his horse was shot and Fred got it through the arm, which ended his power to do much fighting, but he laid down behind his hoss and kept it up like the trump he is." "Then he isn't badly injured?" "Bless your heart! of course not; he will be all right in a few days; his arm wants a little nursing, that's all.
He knows that the majority of these upholders of the law were once lawbreakers, horse thieves, rustlers, highwaymen, and outlaws like himself, and that they gained their positions and immunity by turning state's evidence, by turning traitor and delivering up their comrades to imprisonment and death.
"If she was a girl uh mine, she'd be home with her maw, where she belongs!" "Rustlers that sounds like greasers had been at work here. Runnin' hawses acrost the line. For Lord sake, git a faster wiggle on than that limp, Bud! If that poor little kid meets up with a bunch of them damn renegades " Bud swore and increased his pace in spite of the pain. Others were before him.
"I was just prospectin' around, over on that new growth of Johnson grass, like you told me to, an' I saw where a steer had been killed, an' they had eat most of it, too, by th' signs." "You mean the rustlers?" asked Nort. "Rustlers, Greasers, Del Pinzo's bunch anything you like t' call 'em," asserted Billee. "Somebody, that hadn't any right t' do it, druv off our cattle!"
They were expert with the pistol too. I have seen some very wonderful shots among those cowboys. They did not do much killing around here, but they were pretty wild and did about as they pleased." W.T. Barney wrote, "The rustlers gave us quite a bit of trouble, perhaps even more than the Indians."
The rustlers started out of their statue-like immobility, and lifting their dead leader dragged him down the garden path with his spurs clinking on the gravel and ploughing little furrows. "Bishop, go in now. They may return," said Hare. He hurried up the steps to place his arm round the tottering old man. "Was that Holderness?" "Yes," replied Hare. "The deeds of the wicked return unto them!
But when it came to Mexicans there was not even that ideal to attain; they were not rated as full-fledged human beings; to slay one meant no addition to the notches on one's gun, nor did one feel obliged to observe the rules of fair play. You simply killed your greaser in the most expeditious manner possible and then forgot about it. The rustlers went about the business according to this custom.
"See those black dots against the sky over there? And there's a camp fire, too." He was right. The glow of a fire reddened the horizon and the distant bawling of uneasy cattle could be heard on the night wind. The rustlers had made a camp on the mesa until the dawn. The big herd was shifting, restless and milling. "A gun fight will stampede that herd," observed Red.
"Those rustlers never would have driven th' steers in here unless there was some way of getting 'em out." "But what is this place, anyhow!" asked Nort. "It looks like the Yale bowl, but it never could have been built by man." "It wasn't," said Bud. "It's the crater of an extinct volcano.
Plain is was that Bill did not want them to know. Blaisdell bound up the bloody shoulder with a scarf. Steady firing from the rustlers went on, at the rate of one shot every few minutes. The Isbels did not return these. Jean did not fire again that afternoon.
