“Them pesky Injuns hes stole our hosses," added old Matt, as he fired his rifle the second time. "'Tain't no use; I might as well shoot at the north star.”

“Shall we take their horses?" I asked, rather startled by the proposition. "Certainly; we must teach them a lesson which they will remember. We are in the world as instructors of those who are less wise than we, and it is our duty to impart wisdom to those who need it." "They will come down after them, when they are sober." "They will do that if you take only your own animals. They will fight just as hard to recover the property they stole as to obtain what is justly their own." Without stopping to debate the matter any further, we mounted the Indians' horses.”

“Because the Indian was running ahead of you, and you couldn't have hit him on the side of the hip. Phil was up by the house, and his shot did it. Half his nose is gone, and he has a wound on the back of the head.”
