knocked Wylie stumbling backwards into a card table. The table splintered under Wylie’s weight, sending him sprawling to the floor.

Jim arched in pain as another of the Rafter Q cowboys sent a vicious punch into his back, just over his kidney. A third man buried his fist in Jim’s gut, jack-knifing him. As the cowboy attempted to kick the Ranger in his jaw, Andre Miller wrapped his arms around the waddy, tackling him and slamming him against the bar. All air driven from his lungs, the cowboy sagged, and Miller’s following punch broke his jaw. The Rafter Q puncher uttered a muffled scream, then collapsed unmoving to the sawdust.

As Wylie staggered to his feet, another Rafter Q hand drove a knee into Miller’s groin. Miller groaned in agony, but shook off the pain to grab his assailant by his shirtfront and belt, lift him high over his head, and toss him over the bar. Bottles shattered as the cowboy smashed into the back bar shelves. He landed face-down amidst a shower of glass shards and spilled liquor, tried futilely to push himself up, then collapsed.

The three Rafter Q hands still remaining in the fight along with Jasper Wylie had backed Jim into a corner, but were quickly finding out they had more than met their match in the infuriated Ranger. Paul Doherty had leapt into the fray and pummeled one of the men in the ribs until, with an audible crack, two ribs broke under the surveyor’s assault. Coming to Blawcyzk’s aid, Miller grabbed one of the cowboys and spun him around. His huge fist connected solidly with the man’s nose, flattening it and bringing forth a fountain of blood. As the cowboy clamped his hands to his nose and screeched in agony, Miller muttered disgustedly, “Oh, shut up,” and slammed his fist into the man’s ear. The waddy crumpled silently to the floor.

Jim, meanwhile, had taken one of his assailants out of the fight with two quick rights to the face. Then Jasper Wylie caught the Ranger on the side of his face with a brutal punch, twisting him completely around and slamming him face-first into a wall. Stunned, Jim shook his head to clear his vision as he spit out a mouthful of blood and several pieces of teeth. He whirled to meet Wylie’s rush, ducking under a punch that would have nearly ripped his head off and planting his left fist solidly into the foreman’s belly, smashing his right into Wylie’s ribs. As Wylie doubled over, Jim hooked a punch to his jaw, staggering him. Jim pummeled the bigger Wylie mercilessly, finally slamming a powerful right to Wylie’s chin. The blow spun Wylie around so that he smashed head first into the bar as he toppled. Wylie’s neck snapped and he crumpled, his head at an awkward angle.

Jim yanked his Colt from its holster. “Anyone else want a part of this?” he challenged, chest heaving and blood dripping from his chin.

“Reckon I speak for everyone here when I say it’s your play, Ranger,” one of the bystanders softly answered.
