"He's one son-of-gun, pure and simple that old feller. He caps the climax." "Yes; I know all about that. He's a bad man. I hear everything about him. Now you tell me again. You can tell better than liars." "One genuine son-of-gun!" persisted Pete, shrewdly keeping to general terms. "Oh, very well!" I rose from the log I was sitting on, yawning my indifference. "I know everything he ever did.
Dep'ty sheriff can't find him. That son-of-gun come back next year, raise big fight over one span mules with Injin named Walter that steal my mules out of pasture; and Walter not get well from it so whites say yes, old Pete done that same killing scrape to have his mules again; plain as the nose on the face old Pete do same.
"Go on; what about that next time?" "You know already," said Pete firmly. "You tell, too." He pondered this, his keen little eyes searching my face as he pensively fondled the axe. "You know about this time that son-of-gun go 'n' kill a bright lawyer in Red Gap? I think that cap the climax!" "Certainly, I know!" This with bored impatience. "I think, then, you tell me."
I think plenty too much trouble he make all time for me perform something not nice and get found out about it; and all people say, Oh, yes that old Pete he's at tricks again; he better get sent to Walla Walla, learn some good trade in prison for eighteen years. That b'other-in-law cap the climax! He know all good place to hide from dep'ty sheriff, so not be found when badly wanted the son-of-gun!"
"That b'other-in-law he win everything back this poor squaw man don't need no more, and son-of-gun beat it quick; so all liars say Old Pete turn that trick, but can't prove same, because my b'other-in-law do same in solitude. And old judge say: 'Oh, well, can't prove same in courthouse, and only good squaw man is dead squaw man; so what-the-bad-place! I think mebbe."
