The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery It was one of them blame Chicago rustlers put the firestick in.” The Cattle-Baron's Daughter “Are you—do you think you know who the rustler is?” Brand Blotters Only that afternoon she had left the Bar T ranch-house, and, directed by one of the men guarding the rustlers there, had set out to find the sheepmen’s camp. The Free Range Bemis says they’re in with the rustlers, but even he seems to think there’s something else in the wind besides that.” Shoe-Bar Stratton "These fellows—call 'em rustlers for the time being—have got hold of some kind of knock-out gas and they used it on Bud." The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery One can’t see much use in it, and we know ’most everything about them; but it makes the thing kind of impressive, and the rustler fancied our boy was square when he got them.

Brand Blotters Now, an openly avowed rustler, he expected clemency from his victim. The Free Range If he’s laying for rustlers, seems like he’d ought to have routed out the two of us in the beginning to have as big a crowd as possible.

The Free Range Tex thinks it will be better to move the cattle to where it won’t be so easy for those rustlers to get at them. Shoe-Bar Stratton "Or maybe rustlers might have hung out in there." The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery Lights flashed in the windows, and somebody cried, “The rustler boys are coming!” The Cattle-Baron's Daughter “Did he say that I was a cattle and a stage rustler?” Brand Blotters He took him for a really evil character supplied with a fund of sly cunning and clever brains that would benefit the rustlers immensely, and for that reason had warmly supported his application for membership. The Free Range “You mean there weren’t any rustlers at all?” put in Stratton impulsively. Shoe-Bar Stratton "That would make a good hiding place for rustlers," he added. The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery “I guess some of those rascally rustlers have been driving off a steer again,” he said. The Cattle-Baron's Daughter You don’t allow I’m going to let any rustler dictate to me what I’ll do and what I won’t—do you?” Brand Blotters All the rustlers are taken, and I have absolute proof that you are their leader,” replied Bud coolly. The Free Range "Oh, yes, but marshals get shot nearly every day, somewhere—and maybe it wasn't a Chink smuggler that shot him after all—maybe it was just an ordinary gang of rustlers." The Boy Ranchers on Roaring River or Diamond X and the Chinese Smugglers If we could 'a' found out what caused the deaths it would have been easy to stop it—whether it was Indians, rustlers or some disease. The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery “We’ll whip the rustlers out of the country, and, whether it sounds nice at the time or not, you couldn’t do anything but the square thing.” The Cattle-Baron's Daughter You weren’t satisfied when I was a rustler.” Brand Blotters There is not much more to tell, except that, three days later, the rustlers paid the penalty of their lawless daring. The Free Range "Yes, for we're on the trail almost as soon as the rustlers took it," said Bud. The Boy Ranchers at Spur Creek or Fighting the Sheep Herders "I think they were cattle rustlers," answered Bud, who seemed to be feeling better each moment. The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery Looks like you had an idea it might be one of them rustlers that made trouble when you fellers was here before! The Boy Ranchers in Camp or The Water Fight at Diamond X Think I don’t know you’ve been trying to manufacture evidence against me as a rustler? Brand Blotters After that there were many shots, for the rustlers, keyed up to great alertness by the hazardness of their calling, had opened fire without waiting for question or answer. The Free Range After keeping to the main trail for some distance, the pursuers struck off to the right, heading more to the south, for it was in this direction they might expect to overtake the rustlers. The Boy Ranchers at Spur Creek or Fighting the Sheep Herders "If they're rustlers why did they just hold Bud a prisoner a while and then light out and not take any stock?" The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery Bud's gun shot out a menacing warning, for he had fired high in the air, above the heads of the rustlers.

The Boy Ranchers at Spur Creek or Fighting the Sheep Herders They had had experience before with desperate and unscrupulous men who, as rustlers, or otherwise, had endeavored to make trouble for the boy ranchers. The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery But though Bud thus indicated the presence of the rustlers it was not a very clear sight of them that he or his companions had. The Boy Ranchers in Camp or The Water Fight at Diamond X "I could find it in the dark, but we won't wait until then to close in on the rustlers!" The Boy Ranchers or Solving the Mystery at Diamond X After that the rustler pulled up his failing animal to a walk and faced him around. The Free Range After the meal there was a general talk about the raid of the rustlers. The Boy Ranchers at Spur Creek or Fighting the Sheep Herders "I meant the rustlers did up the cowboys," suggested the foreman.

The Boy Ranchers in Camp or The Water Fight at Diamond X With the discovery that the professors were really scientists, and not cattle rustlers, all suspicion of them vanished. The Boy Ranchers or Solving the Mystery at Diamond X When he had disposed of Larkin to his satisfaction, the foreman recollected with delight that the rustlers must have the fifteen hundred cows well up the range by this morning. The Free Range As for the rustlers the success of their raid depended on keeping the cattle they had stolen. The Boy Ranchers at Spur Creek or Fighting the Sheep Herders "But did you see any of those rustlers, holdup men, or whatever they are, with their gas cylinders?" asked Bud. The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery Following it, almost instantly, was a yell of pain from one of the rustlers—which one could not be told because of the mix-up and the darkness, but it was a yell nevertheless. The Boy Ranchers in Camp or The Water Fight at Diamond X "An' it wouldn't s'prise me a bit if them fellers proved to be the cattle rustlers." The Boy Ranchers or Solving the Mystery at Diamond X All hands rushed around to the rear and, with drawn revolvers, forced an entrance among the sullen rustlers. The Free Range For a few minutes after the pursuit became close, the rustlers made an attempt to get the cattle into one of the many small valleys with which the country around there abounded. The Boy Ranchers at Spur Creek or Fighting the Sheep Herders I thought, of course, that these fellows were rustlers—they were rough and tough enough looking to be almost anything. The Boy Ranchers in Death Valley or Diamond X and the Poison Mystery Then, with yells of defiance, and before our boys could come close enough to recognize any of the raiders, the rustlers galloped off, not having succeeded in driving away any cattle. The Boy Ranchers in Camp or The Water Fight at Diamond X "But you wouldn't think such men as these two professors would frame it up to be cattle rustlers; would you?"
