"You do now, though," replied Bridge, and as the Mexican's eyes returned in the direction of his companion he was forced to admit that he did see something the dismal, hollow eye of a six-shooter looking him straight in the face. "Senor Bridge!" exclaimed Rozales. "What are you doing? What do you mean?"
Swinging the three mules so that they formed a triangle, he drew his six-shooter and dropped them where they stood. "Now there's a little cover, boys," he said, and we all made ready for the attack. Our plan of defense was now made for us. First rifles, then, at closer quarters, revolvers. If it came to a hand-to-hand conflict we had our knives as a last resort.
However, Rudolf had said that the baker broke my head with his rolling-pin, and thus the story rests in the doctor's mind to this day. "Well, I'm off," said Rudolf. "But where?" "Why, to that same little station where two good friends parted from me once before. Fritz, where's Rupert gone?" "I wish we knew." "I lay he won't be far off." "Are you armed?" "The six-shooter.
His six-shooter had plates of silver on the handle, and his scabbard was covered with silver buttons. It should be said that a saddle, such as we all used, cost from forty to sixty dollars, and weighed generally about forty pounds, not counting saddle blankets. Sometimes the saddle had only one "cinch" or girth, generally two, one of which reached well back under the flank.
In the stream of fiery color, water fowl bobbed about grotesquely. Close at hand was a grove of pines, a few trees extending down to the shore, though for the most part the land immediately about the lake was an open, grassy meadow. She heard a slight rustling in among the pines as she passed them. She had not strapped on her cartridge belt and six-shooter when leaving camp.
The men had also somehow heard that I could hold a six-shooter pretty straight. Such a reputation was even more useful. I was not surprised therefore that a plan should be hatched to test my powers in that line. A small piece of board was nailed to a fence post and the boys began shooting at it. In a casual way someone asked me to try my hand.
He stood rapturous while Lin buckled the belt round his scanty stomach, and ingeniously buttoned the suspenders outside the accoutrement to retard its immediate descent to earth. "Did it ever kill a man?" asked Billy, touching the six-shooter. "No. It ain't never had to do that, but I expect maybe it's stopped some killin' me." "Oh, leave me wear it just a minute! Do you collect arrow-heads?
It charged Laura Hawkins, in effect, with the premeditated murder of George Selby, by shooting him with a pistol, with a revolver, shotgun, rifle, repeater, breech-loader, cannon, six-shooter, with a gun, or some other, weapon; with killing him with a slung-shot, a bludgeon, carving knife, bowie knife, pen knife, rolling pin, car, hook, dagger, hair pin, with a hammer, with a screw-driver; with a nail, and with all other weapons and utensils whatsoever, at the Southern hotel and in all other hotels and places wheresoever, on the thirteenth day of March and all other days of the Christian era wheresoever.
He was gone some little time, and as Nigger cantered along easily in the lead, I managed to eject the shells from my six-shooter and refill the cylinder. On Joe's overtaking me again, he reported that there was a slender column of cattle, half a mile in length, following.
Say 'gun, 'gat, 'six-shooter, anything, but don't ever say 'pistol' above a whisper." A little crest-fallen, Wallie laid it aside and commenced to count his money. Pinkey, he could see, was not impressed by the weapon. "Yes, eighteen hundred exactly. I spent $250 purchasing a camping outfit." Pinkey looked at him incredulously.
