"___?___ saw they were planning to kill him.  He didn’t let on.  He went right on
branding, and watching.  Out to one side Pancho was tending the branding irons.  One Mexican was working with ___?___, three sat on the fence.  ___?___always wore his six-shooter, according to Pablo’s version; therefore the men, who had too often seen the results of ___?___’s aim, were not anxious to start anything.

"One of the three men on the fence wore a gun, too, and he was the one ___?___ watched the closest.  But it was the one helping with the branding who started the argument, and then tried to put up a fight.  ___?___ saw his first move, and brained him with the branding iron.  In a flash the armed Mexican jumped into the pen, his hand on his gun.  ___?___ drew and shot  him before he could draw the gun, then whirled and killed the two on the fence."

:D Everyone

Hamp is doing a great job on the Western Historical discussion and I think he deserves a drink so I am buying one for him.

You know me, Lady GB, I never refuse a free meal or drink.  Just don't let Old williamlayton know, or he'll want to come along and get us all in trouble.  See you at the Saloon.
