But I do know that I was suddenly wakened by feeling something sharp drawn across my forehead. "Opening my eyes, I saw a face, hideous in white and yellow paint, peering into mine. "Fortunately, I still had my six-shooters on me, and being pretty handy with them, it didn't take me long to put an end to Mr. Injun. "Whether there was more than one buck 'round, I didn't know.
"What's the matter with you?" cried Chester; "I mean to give him a good screw that is, as soon as the thing is set going, of course. It's as easy as falling off a log. Simply nothing to do; two six-shooters in his belt . . . Surely he wouldn't be afraid of anything forty coolies could do with two six-shooters and he the only armed man too! It's much better than it looks.
As soon as they saw us they strung their bows for a fight, and we drew our six-shooters, but the Mexicans quickly closed in around the Indians and forced them out of the house or rude jackal where the "ball" was being held, and they escaped.
She got up and, in the uncertainty bred of the dream, felt the brown bureau, felt it hungrily, almost incredulously. The brown bureau had been pushed against the door when they had come, and knocked and knocked. Then they had thundered with the butts of their six-shooters, and the children had wakened, and she had called out to them: "Sh-sh! It’s only a bad dream.
"I don't know it; and if they make the first move to stop us, be ready, boys." "All ready." There were two six-shooters behind me, and one in the hand of Hughes, that I feared much more than all the slave-holders in Kentucky. But we were soon relieved by the remark of one, as we were passing, "It was well we stopped that bent from falling, or't would have killed Smith as dead as a hammer."
The men who try against one another for a clerkship in the City, or a post in a gang of builder's workmen, are just as surely taking away bread and butter out of their fellows' mouths for their own advantage, as if they fought for it openly with fists or six-shooters.
The depot was locked, but again I got in by breaking a window. There were the guns as I expected five new Winchesters like Sours's. There were also a lot of cartridges, and three large six-shooters, with belts and holsters. It was half-past three by the clock, which was still going. I clicked at the telegraph instrument, but it was silent.
It is no case of sawed-off shot-guns and clumsy six-shooters. You can tell an old master by the sweep of his brush. I can tell a Moriarty when I see one. This crime is from London, not from America." "But for what motive?" "Because it is done by a man who cannot afford to fail one whose whole unique position depends upon the fact that all he does must succeed.
The antelope were unusually tame; with six-shooters we killed quite a number by flagging, or using a gentle horse for a blind, driving the animal forward with the bridle reins, tacking frequently, and allowing him to graze up within pistol range. The Niobrara was a fine grazing country.
And when you leave town, call for your pistols, but don't ride out shooting; omit that. Most cowboys think it's an infringement on their rights to give up shooting in town, and if it is, it stands, for your six-shooters are no match for Winchesters and buckshot; and Dodge's officers are as game a set of men as ever faced danger."
