“What of that?”
“And he can shoot.”

“He went into a saloon the night he got home and shot the necks off all the bottles in sight, ending by shooting out the lights.”
“And nobody arrested him for that trick? Well, this fellow must be regarded as a bad man from Bitter Creek.”
“That’s what he calls himself.”
“I think he needs to be curried down.”
“There ain’t nobody here dares tackle the job. He gets drunk and shoots out windows in houses, and has a great time.”
“I should think they’d bind him over to keep the peace.”
