throw lead

Johnson came out standing southpaw, seemingly to throw lead punches with his power hand at Cormier’s mangled nose.

Two workers from the Army Corps of Engineers man the locks this evening; they wave and throw lead lines to our crew working the deck.

“I want to be fairly sure when I throw lead; I don’t believe in giving any animal unnecessary pain.”

Then again throw lead and blow again until the lead separates.

For instance, when they brand an animal they put the "jimption" to him; when they want a hot drink they say "put some jimption in it"; when they warm up a horse with the spurs or quirt they "fan" him; when they throw lead from a six-shooter or a Winchester after a flying coyote they "fan" him.
