Cassidy, Hopalong (Fictitious character) -- Fiction; Western stories
Quigley's hand brushed one of Johnny's guns, gripped it, drew it out
and shoved the muzzle against his enemy's side. As he pulled the
trigger Johnny writhed swiftly and turned the muzzle away. Squirming on
top, he again turned the muzzle away as Quigley fired the second time.
At the roar of the shot the rustler grunted and grew suddenly limp.

Logan pushed back from the dinner table and glanced out of the window.
Shouting an exclamation he leaped for the door, the rest of the outfit
piling pell-mell at his heels.
A black horse, carrying double, stopped near the door and eager hands
caught Luke Tedrue as he fell from Pepper's back. Johnny, covered
with mud, dust, blood, and powder grime, his clothes torn into shreds
and his face a battered mass of red and black and blue flesh, swayed
slightly, grasped the saddle horn with both hands and sat stiffly erect
again.
"Good Lord!" shouted Logan, jumping to him. "What th' h--l's up?"
"Rustlin'," muttered Johnny. "Luke's brains got foundered in th' head
an' he pulled three of 'em out of a hole; but I made Quigley skin th'
cat."
"Are they _all_ gone under?" yelled Logan incredulously.
"All but th' cows," sighed Johnny, and strong arms caught him as he
fell.
