There's been some queer deals lately an' this seemed to me the queerest.

These men stood to the bar alone, an' so close their big gun-hilts butted together.

I seen Oldrin' was some surprised at first, an' Lassiter was cool as ice.

They talked, an' presently at somethin' Lassiter said the rustler bawled out a curse, an' then he jest fell up against the bar, an' sagged there.

The gang in the saloon looked around an' laughed, an' thet's about all.
