CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Outside the bunkhouse, four riders stopped on a little hill overlooking the Silver Spur Ranch.

“Do you think there is anyone here?” Frank asked.

“There may be,” Pogue replied. “From what I heard, there wasn’t many of the cowboys was actually goin’ to go to the meetin’. So it’s more than likely that someone is here.”

Dismounting, the four men moved to the edge of the hill bent over at the waist so they wouldn’t show in silhouette, and looked down toward the bunkhouse.

“See anyone?” Pogue asked.

“Yeah, there’s someone there,” Frank said. “I can see a couple of ’em through the window, sittin’ at a table or somethin’.”

“Only two? Frakes has three men workin’ for him. Wonder where the other one is,” Mace said.

“Maybe he went to that ranchers’ meeting,” Pogue suggested. “No matter. We’ll shoot these two. That ought to be enough to scare the rest of ’em off. Frank, you an’ Mace take the one on the left. Me and Jack will take the one on the right. With two of us shootin’ at each one of ’em, we’re bound to get ’em both.”

“I’m ready,” Jack replied.

“Me, too,” Frank said.

“I’m ready,” Mace said.

All four men raised their rifles and took slow, careful aim. Their targets were well illuminated by the lantern that burned brightly inside the bunkhouse.

“On three,” Pogue said. “One, two, three.” He squeezed the trigger that sent out the first bullet.

Four rifles roared as one.
