I thought he was goin' to risk it, he muttered, a deep sigh of relief following the words.

He was near loco, but he just about had enough sense left to save his worthless life. You would 'a' blowed him apart at that distance.

I'd 'a' smashed his pointed jaw! growled Johnny.
gpt
I ain't shootin' nobody that don't reach for a gun. An' if I'd had any sense I'd 'a' chucked th' guns to you an' let him have his beatin'. Next time, I will. Fine sort of a dog he is, tellin' me what I'm goin' to do, an' when I'm goin' to do it!

Wait till pay day, when I'll have more money, chuckled Idaho.

I can easy get three to two around here. He's th' champeen rough-an'-tumble fighter for near a hundred miles, but I'm sayin' any man with th' everlastin' nerve to pull Kit Thorpe out from his own kennel an' pack ain't got sense enough to know when he's licked. An' that bein' so, I'm bettin' on yore condition to win. He's gettin' fat an' shortwinded from doin' nothin'. Besides, I'm one of them fools that allus bets on a friend. He laughed as certain memories passed before him.

I've done had a treat--come on, an' let me treat you. How many was in there when you pulled him out? An' why didn't th' partition work like it allus did before?

Things went too fast for anybody else to get behind it. A sudden grin slipped to his face.

Hey, I got one of my pet guns back! He was wearin' it. I knowed it as soon as my fingers closed around th' butt, for I shaped it to fit my hand several years ago. Did you see th' handbills? Twitchell's put up another reward, this one for Ridley; an' McCullough is down on th' Question-Mark. Things ought to step fast, now.
