midnight
Wild Bill went in on the spree with a rush , as if he wished to drown the remembrance of his late fright , and despite the cautions of his friend , Captain Jack , who strove hard to keep him within bounds . California Joe of course was in his element , and in a little while all the party became so turbulent that Crawford left them in disgust . For , as Addie Neidic had said of him , despite his associations , he was a gentleman . By midnight every saloon had been visited , and many of them pretty well cleaned out , and now Bill proposed to go and break a faro bank that some of the party spoke of . `` I have seven hundred dollars left out of a thousand my woman gave me before I started , '' said he . `` I 'll lose that , or break the bank ; see if I do n't . '' All of the party who were sober enough went with Bill , and soon he was before the green board .
