I found Dan in Brownsville.

I begged him to come back with me, but he wouldn't stir.
This was why: A gunman had come to the town lookin' for trouble, and when he run acrost Dan he found plenty of it.

No, don't look like that, Kate; it was self-defense, pure and simple--they didn't even arrest Dan for it.

But this dyin' man's brother, Mac Strann, come down from the hills and sat beside Jerry Strann waitin' for him to go west before he started out to clean up on Dan.

Yesterday evenin' Jerry was near dead and everybody in Brownsville was waitin' to see what would happen, because Dan wouldn't budge till Mac Strann had had his chance to get back at him.
