“They captured the cannon?” Bixby inhaled up his nose. “What about Younkers and Meeker?”

“Dead. Shot them at long range. They must of had a fifty-caliber buffalo gun. They blowed holes in them like outdoors.”

“I thought . . .” Bixby collapsed against the wall of the house. How could a cannon fail against simple, dumb Messikins? Oh, damn. There were more problems, too. Between windmill wrecks, the damn hair shearing and the wounded ones—he had four men still laid up from that cantina girth cutting. He should have gone along and been in command. He figured that those two, Younkers and Meeker, would fire a few rounds and them Messikins would scatter like sheep. Instead they opened with deadly sniper fire and took the cannon. One thing, they didn’t have many charges for it—cause he didn’t either. Of course, if they knew anything at all about cannons, they’d know a few kegs of black powder would do the same thing.

His fist clenched so tight his fingernails bit into his palms, and he suppressed a scream. What would he do next? She would never beat him. He was going to run her and that whole bunch of greasers out of that country up there.

You may have that cannon, Slocum, you bastard, but I’ll get you and her, too.
