Belcher, and listened to the stories of the proprietor's foul dealings with the people of his native town.

He heard also the whole story of the connection of Mr.
In half an hour the saloon was jammed with cattlemen, traders, soldiers, gamblers, half-breeds, and Indians, all more or less under the influence of the absent proprietor's liquor, which was flowing freely, and all ready to hear what the eldest brother had to say. He stood on the slippery counter to address them, his weapons still in his hands.
He had, however, almost made up his mind, and he was not exactly pleased that the proprietor's wife came in with the meal, and stayed to talk a while.
