"Then, if you don't come along fast with the remainder, your deposit will be forfeited." "I'll raise the money all right," drawled Ripley, with an important air, as he passed up three five dollar bills.

"Give me a receipt for this, please." "You've money enough there to pay it all," said the auctioneer.

"Good luck to you," laughed the auctioneer.
Presently along came a miscellaneous lot of the weapons that had been used by cowboys and Indians connected with the show.

The auctioneer tried to close these out in one lot, but there were no bids.
Several of the younger men did brisk, but not high bidding for the rifles.

These were disposed of.
Then tomahawks were offered for sale, singly.

The first ones offered went at an average of twenty-five cents each.
