Why, down in the Coconino country they used to set half a dozen greasers diggin' graves, by cripes, soon as I started in to argy with a man.

It was a safe bet they'd need three or four, anyways, if old Bud cut loose oncet.

Sheepherders?
Why, they jest natcherly couldn't keep enough on hand, securely, to run their sheep.

They used to order sheepherders like they did woolsacks, by cripes! You could always tell when I was in the country, by the number uh extra herders them sheep outfits always kep' in reserve.

Honest to grandma, I've knowed two or three outfits to club together and ship in a carload at a time, when they heard I was headed their way.
