Teeftallow

They were floundering about under these torturing punishments when a voice near the embankment cried out:

"Turn him on top an' I'll shoot the God damned—"

Instantly both fighters began trying to whirl the other on top. A sudden realization filled Abner that he was about to be killed. He made a terrific effort to turn Fraley, flinging himself to one side and lifting with his throttling hand and chewed thumb. He could hear other voices shouting. He made a last desperate lift. A man was over him. Came the crash of a pistol almost in his eyes. The blaze of fire seemed to fill the whole world, and the next moment, the fight, the night, the shouts were no more for Abner Teeftallow.
