Every issue we've put out has gone above par at some time or other, and that's playing the game square with our customers, ain't it?
They shot at coyotes and wildcats when it was convenient, but did not go out of their way to hunt them. She was just but not generous. She never had spared herself, and she did not spare her herders. "Hard as nails" was the verdict in general.
Tomahawks and knives were used as freely as rifles. Stabbing, shooting, wrestling, the men fought each other more like wildcats than human beings. A fearful thunderstorm burst forth, too. Rain fell in torrents, a raging wind tore through the tree tops, thunder and lightning added their terrors to the scene. For five hours the savage warfare lasted.
Take my advice, sir, and don't try to tame any wildcats." "I'm glad to do a favor for that young man," said the General, when Stephen had gone off with the slip of paper he had given him.

Few had a chance of striking, most of them falling, pierced through and through by the spears. Those who, by swiftness of eye, escaped this fate, sprung at the horses like wildcats, clinging to the saddles, while they strove to bury their knives in the riders' bodies. Their back pieces now served the troopers in good stead, as did their superior personal strength.
From the thicket behind their camp came the snarling of wildcats, while in the more distant woods the curdling cry of the panther, or mountain lion, could be heard from time to time. A long roar that rose and fell and seemed to come from all sides at once was recognized by Ned as the bellowing of an alligator.
