Just you slip another jolt of this tornado juice in under your belt, an' by the time you get a couple dozen more with it, you won't care a damn about anniversaries.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 214   ~   ~   ~

The first case on the docket is Horatio Benton, alias Tex, _vs._ John Doe, John Doe's brother, an' the Red Front saloon _et al._" "Hey, what's all this here damn nonsense about?" asked the bartender.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 237   ~   ~   ~

Me an' my brother Sam ain't on what you might say, fambly terms, which he'd of skun me to a frazzle on this here deal if the claim I traded him fer the saloon had of be'n worth a damn.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 245   ~   ~   ~

But as far as I'm concerned, your brother Sam's nothin' but a pleasant memory while as we say in the law, this saloon here is a corporeal hereditament----" "You're a damn liar!" flared the aproned one, indignantly: "They ain't no wimin' allowed in here--" With the words the man's hand leaped from behind the bar, there was a crashing report, a heavy six-shooter thudded upon the wooden floor, and with a cry of pain the bartender spun half around clutching at his right arm.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 570   ~   ~   ~

We'll fight like hell--for the fun of fightin'--an' then we'll go back to the wild again--an' we'll go back when we damn please--did you see him when I whistled?'

He nicked Pete Barras in the arm, an' has otherwise feloniously disturbed the peace of Timber City to a extent it'll cost him a hundred dollars' fine besides damages fer shootin' up, an' causin' to git shot up, the Red Front saloon."

"Yer drunk as hell," growled the marshal, "wait till you git sober an' you won't feel so damn hard."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 825   ~   ~   ~

"They can't burn me without burnin' up their whole damn little wooden town," he speculated, "but what in the devil do they want with a light?"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,180   ~   ~   ~

This big brother stuff won't go--by a damn sight!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,309   ~   ~   ~

If we'd struck a snag that would have held the tree, it would have been 'good-night' for us.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,499   ~   ~   ~

"It'll dry her, an' warm her up, while I'm huntin' that damn cayuse," he muttered.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,526   ~   ~   ~

With that rope trailin' along from the saddle horn, that damn cayuse might run his fool head off."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,536   ~   ~   ~

"I've got to find that damn cayuse an' get _her_ out of this, somehow."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 1,841   ~   ~   ~

"If you're so damn smart, why didn't you think of the keg shoot?" retorted the representative of law and order.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,099   ~   ~   ~

"Damn 'em all!" he muttered, the sullen hatred settling itself once more upon him.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,126   ~   ~   ~

"Damn you!" he shrilled, and his voice rang hollow and thin, "damn you, come and get me!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,137   ~   ~   ~

Purdy's hands raised shakily: "Damn you!" he screamed, "damn you all!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,138   ~   ~   ~

Damn the world!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,227   ~   ~   ~

I'm a horse-thief--an' a damn good one.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,320   ~   ~   ~

When Purdy's boss of the gang you won't be so damn _safe_!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,323   ~   ~   ~

Damn the nesters!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,465   ~   ~   ~

The infuriated man fairly screamed the words, "Me--or you--not by a damn sight!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,484   ~   ~   ~

I hain't so damn glad he drownded neither.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,521   ~   ~   ~

Them's the only kind of friends that's worth a damn--the ones you've got somethin' on."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,619   ~   ~   ~

An' it makes things a damn sight easier fer me."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,645   ~   ~   ~

An' if you don't go the limit with me, yer goin' to wish a thousan' times more that you was a damn sight deader than you ever will be!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,647   ~   ~   ~

An' you ain't a damn bit better than what I be, either!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,818   ~   ~   ~

Damn you!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,819   ~   ~   ~

_Damn you!_" As he whirled his horse and headed him out into the open bench, a squat, bow-legged man peered out from behind a rock, not fifty feet from where the Texan had sat his horse.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 2,820   ~   ~   ~

A tuft of hair protruded from a hole in the crown of his battered hat as he fingered his stubby beard: "Pretty damn lively for a corpse," grinned the squat man, "an' he _will_ git him, too.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,066   ~   ~   ~

Even if it's shootin' up his old pals an' grabbin' off the reward."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,108   ~   ~   ~

"That ain't none of yer damn business!" snapped Purdy, "an' mind you don't try to bushwhack me, an' don't let no one know she's here, or you'll spend the rest of your life in Deer Lodge--an' me an' Jennie'll run the outfit----" With a cry Jennie threw herself upon her husband who, unarmed, had launched himself at Purdy.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,119   ~   ~   ~

"The damn fool!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,121   ~   ~   ~

He sure as hell was shootin' to kill--an' he damn near called my bluff!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,131   ~   ~   ~

"Don't git to scrappin' amongst ourselves.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,150   ~   ~   ~

"Not by a damn sight!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,163   ~   ~   ~

Damn 'em!" he cried, suddenly, "I'll clean 'em all!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,371   ~   ~   ~

You're a damn fool!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,441   ~   ~   ~

An' that's what made me so damn mad when I thought you'd gone an' got outlawed, an' was mixin' it up with this here other woman.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,443   ~   ~   ~

Marry her, Tex--an' take her out of this damn neck of the woods!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,454   ~   ~   ~

The man continued, his voice dropped low: "It was that that outlawed me, years ago--killin' the damn reptile that ruined my little girl.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,458   ~   ~   ~

An' he died _the day he got out_--an' I was outlawed--an' I'm damn proud of it!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,462   ~   ~   ~

As they raised him from the coulee Grimshaw had removed his guns: "Better take one of these along," he cautioned, "Purdy packs two--one inside his shirt--an' the dirty hound carries a squeezer in his pocket--don't play him fer dead till he's damn good an' dead, or he'll git you.

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,475   ~   ~   ~

Don't Joe!" she screamed, "he said--there was others, an' they'd----" "I don't care a damn what he said!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,783   ~   ~   ~

Mebbe I want the hull damn country raisin' hell around here all night!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,882   ~   ~   ~

"Damn you!" he cried leaning forward in the saddle, "where's my wife?"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 3,884   ~   ~   ~

"Damn me, where's your wife?" repeated the man, "ain't that a kind of a rough way, pardner, to ask a question of a stranger?

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,037   ~   ~   ~

"That damn snake couldn't love no one!"

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,315   ~   ~   ~

It's, what do the French call it--a _faux pas_ that's not only frowned on, but actually scowled at, an' made the excuse for numerous an' sundry barbed shafts of sarcasm an' caustic observations of a more or less personal application, all of which is supposed to make a man feel like he'd not only et the canary, but a whole damn buzzard--an' wish he hadn't lived to survive doin' it."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,471   ~   ~   ~

"You're damn right I did!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,494   ~   ~   ~

Damn you!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,495   ~   ~   ~

Damn you!

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,631   ~   ~   ~

But, they rode a damn sight faster than what I would, at that."

~   ~   ~   Sentence 4,713   ~   ~   ~

I've got as good an education, I reckon, as anyone here--an' a damn sight better one than I need in my business.
