"Don't shoot--for God's sake!" he called, with his hands quivering above his head.

He had heard of Delmar's skill with weapons.
"Mr.Williams," Delmar began with sinister formality, "your men have been shooting my herders." "Not by my orders, Mr.Delmar; I never sanction----" "See here, Williams, you are responsible for your cowboys, just as I am for my Mexicans.

It's low-down business for you to shoot my men who are working for me at fifteen dollars a month.

I'm the responsible party--I'm the man to kill.

I want to say right here that I hold you accountable, and if your men maim one of my herders or open fire on 'em again I'll hunt you down and kill you like a wolf.
