When he returned, he told us he had not only been very successful in that way, but had succeeded in capturing a native desperado, against whom a warrant was out, and who had robbed some shepherds' huts, and speared, if not killed, a shepherd in their employ. Mr.
I ought to send my cousin a letter thanking him for giving me a chance to owe so much kindness to so many people." "Your cousin?" repeated the uncomprehending officer. "This desperado, Bannister, is my cousin," answered the sheepman gravely. "But if he was your cousin, why should he want to kill you?" "That's a long story, Lieutenant. Will y'u hear it now?" "If you feel strong enough to tell it."
Then it takes execution. You and Pearce and the gang will furnish that. What more do you need to know?" "How're you going to operate?" persisted Gulden. Kells threw up both hands as if it was useless to argue or reason with this desperado. "All right, I'll tell you," he replied. "Listen.... I can't say what definite plans I'll make till Jesse Smith reports, and then when I get on the diggings.
Certainly such a desperado was unsafe to be at large. "Are you going to make the fire now?" he asked, in a mocking tone. "No, I am just going to jump on my horse and leave you here to think of your sins. I am sure you will be here when I come back." "Oh please, miss, don't go for the police," he begged, tears welling into his deep blue eyes.
The dog attached himself to Constable Davis, and was with him when he was shot by "Running Wolf," a desperate Indian whom he was arresting. Then the dog became attached to Corporal Watts, accompanied him for four years on special duty, and was with him at Exshaw, when Watts narrowly escaped death at the hands of a desperado there.
Now, strange change, they are in Tom Cribb's parlor, where they don't seem to be a whit less at home than in fashion's gilded halls: and now they are at Newgate, seeing the irons knocked off the malefactors' legs previous to execution. What hardened ferocity in the countenance of the desperado in yellow breeches! Kate without any hesitation immediately stood up.
A look of determination stood out on the face of every one and not a man, from clergyman to desperado, within the confines of the city who would not willingly have given up his life's blood to protect the honor of the women and lives of the little ones. For three weary days and the same number of nights the terrible suspense lasted, but no Indian came. It was a false alarm.
When in answer to her eager questions the new-comers told her that the young desperado whom she had so nearly admitted to her house was a horse-thief, who, but a short time before, had stolen the animal now tied to her front fence, at the point of a revolver from the man who was leading him to water, she said she wouldn't have believed that such a mere boy could be so great a villian.
The formidable desperado was pointed out to them; when, firing a volley over his head, to confuse without killing him, they rushed forward in the smoke, disarmed, bound, and dragged him along, to pass him down to their boat. As he was being urged across the deck, his eyes met those of Elwood. The recognition was mutual. It was Gaut Gurley!
With the sangfroid of a perfect desperado, he then stretched himself out in the shadow of a small tree, drank deeply from a whiskey flagon which he produced, and pulling his hat over his eyes, was soon asleep and snoring. It was a long time before I could believe the evidence of my own senses. Finally, I approached the ruffian, and placed my hand on his shoulder. He did not stir a muscle.
