The beginning of my trouble with Jesse came in 1872, when George W. Shepherd returned to Lee’s Summit after serving a term in prison in Kentucky for the bank robbery at Russellville in 1868. Jesse had told me that Shepherd was gunning for me, and accordingly one night, when Shepherd came late to the home of Silas Hudspeth, where I was, I was prepared for trouble, as in fact, I always was anyway.
Charity was not convinced, but she could hardly reveal that to Hudspeth although, of course, she did. She was betrayed by her very eagerness to be a good sport easily bamboozled. "Oh, I see. Too bad! I quite understand. Thank you, Mr. Hudspeth. Good-by."
She did not hear Hudspeth growling to the stenographer as he strolled over and leaned on her chair unnecessarily there were other chairs to lean on, and she was not deaf: "Rotten business! He ought to be ashamed of himself. A nice wife like that!" The stenographer sat forward and snapped, "You got a nice wife yourself." She was a little jealous of Zada, perhaps or of Mrs. Cheever or of both.
Hastings and Hudspeth, or followed their trail, had all reached the valley of the Sacramento without any material loss or disaster. I remained at San Francisco from the 18th to the 22d of October.
