As ___?___ told the story later on, he was awakened when a bullet tore into the roof right under his stomach. In a split second he had raised his Winchester and fired at Garrett, intending to hit him in the head. Pat ducked so fast that ___?___ supposed he had been shot down. Everybody in the posse but Kearney continued to stand up and fight until both ___?___ and Gilliland hit him and he fell to the ground. Groaning, he was dragged into the wagon shed with the rest.
It had been a lively two minutes. The possemen remember that ___?___ laughed as he fought. Now, suddenly, everything was terribly quiet. In a minute ___?___ called down, You are a hell of a lot of (sons of unwed parents) to shoot a man when he is asleep.
