Sech is human nacher onrestrained, an' the
same, while deplorable, is not s'prisin'.
"But this yere Olson I has in my mem'ry don't have no sech manly
feelin's as goes with a gun play. Olson is that cowardly he's even
furtive; an' for a low-flung measly game let me tell you-all what
Olson does. It's shorely ornery.
"It all arises years ago, back in Tennessee, an' gets its first
start out of a hawg which is owned by Olson an' is downed by a gent
named Hoskins--Bill Hoskins. It's this a-way.
"Back in Tennessee in my dream-wreathed yooth, when livestock goes
projectin' about permiscus, a party has to build his fences 'bull
strong, hawg tight, an' hoss high,' or he takes results. Which
Hoskins don't make his fences to conform to this yere rool none;
leastwise they ain't hawg tight as is shown by one of Olson's hawgs.
"The hawg comes pirootin' about Hoskins's fence, an' he goes through
easy; an' the way that invadin' animal turns Bill's potatoes bottom
up don't hinder him a bit. He shorely loots Bill's lot; that's
whatever.
"But Bill, perceivin' of Olson's hawg layin' waste his crop, reaches
down a 8-squar' rifle, 30 to the pound, an' stretches the hawg.
