To the cowboys he is a source of endless amusement, and they are fast educating him in every form of depravity. A favorite sport of theirs is to get him in the saloon on Sunday, make him drunk on mixed drinks, and then tease him into a state of fenzy. He is a regular little toper, and will drink like a fish, and when drunk is about as ugly a little devil as you can scare up. He will curse the cowboys, and fight like the little savage that he is.
