Every time I've been there 1've•delivered a baby, or set a broken leg. or patched up some young hellion who thought he could ride an outlaw horse, or dug bullets out of somebody else It's a wild country settled by wild people. Some tines I. get so mad at those cattle men that I wish they'd all shoot each other. And then at other times .. , In spite. of their hair=trigger tem- pers, and their tendency to express those tempers with a gun, they have their good qualities. I've known everybody in the Stannigy for forty years. 1 guess I've de- livered half of them: On this trip 1 pulled up in front of old Jeb Cressfield's ranch house. The house is built on top of a hill, and there are folks who say Jeb built it there so he could look all ways for those who'd come gun- ning for him. Jeb himself, as as strong, gearted, and as talkative, as any tree that grows on the Stanningy ridges,- awaited me on the porch. "Come in, Doc," he said. I WENT in through the kitchen, and if there was one person wait- ing there, there must have been thirty. The women were either talking or crying- in one part ce the room, and the men weren't saying anything at all in another part. Every family in the Stannigy was represented. Tight-lipped as turtles, seven of the eight Cross. field boys sat in seven chairs that they had tilted against the wall. When those boys were the prop er age -about six -they each got a six-shooter . Now they could knock the centre out of a silver dollar at fifty yards. It seemed sort of ominous to me because young Bud Cressfield was missing. Old Jeb ducked under the door- way that led to the next room, and I found out why Bud wasn't with his brothers. He lay on a cot with his trousers still on and his shirt One yard of 35 -inch for the smell size! Little more for the other. As shown in diagram, this apron is one piece, plus ties and pockets.

ISSUE 49 •--- 1049' off, and b didn't have to look twice at the blood-stained patch of guaze on his chest to know what had happened. This was an old, old story, one that, off and on, I'd beenreading in the Stannigy for forty years. Bud Cressfield had been some- where. Maybe it was a dance, may- be any place at all, Anyhow, he'd got into an argument with some other hothead and the'd settled it with guns. The story from now on had to . follow a familiar pattern, Bud's seven brothers, and old Jeb, would find out who'd shot Bud. Then, naturally, one of them would go pick him off. His male relatives would feel obliged to shoot a few Cressfields. Before the thing was settled five or six men could die. It was enough to make anybody mad, and sick too. I took the bandage off and looked at the bullet hole. It was harmless -looking, not half as big as the end of my finger. Well, the size of the hole makes no difference. I found it, and got up, mad. "This," and I raised my voice so the people in the other room could hear, "is what you call mur- der!" Because I know the people 01 the Stannigy, I know how old Jeb Cressfietd's insides must have twisted when I said that, He loved his sons, but when I told hits Bud was going to die he didn't even blink. His edam's apple worked a couple of times, and that's all except that his voice might have been a little strained when he said, "Is there anything at all you can do for him, Doc?" "Nothing!" "Uh. Of course you know the caliber bullet you took out of him?" "Yes!" and i was still shouting. "I know!" "Well, doc?" "Look," 1 said, "I've been conn ing into this district and patching you damn cowmen up when you tried to kill each other oft, for forty years' ['m damned good and sick of it!! One of two men shot Bud and I could give you their names. I know the guns you hot- heads usel I'm not going to tell! I'm going to the police with this bullet and with what i know! The man who shot Bud will hang by the neck until he's dead! Maybe that will make you fools think twice before you start any more of your cursed shooting frays!" I looked up to see the seven Cressfield boys. one behind the other, staring at me with hungry eyes. Old Jeb's edam's apple bob bed a couple of more times, "That's nighty strong talk, Doc." "Maybe you think you can do something about it!" I wouldn't have dared tallc that way if every- body in the Stannigy hadn't thought God and I were Fairly close relatives "Maybe you'd like to try to stop me going to the police." Old Jeb said hoarsely, "Do what you can for Bud." I did what I could. Then got my hat. "I'll be back in a few hours," l said, "Keep hint quiet and," 1 raised my voice again, "before come back the police will be in to get the .man who ehot Bust," fF YOU want to kill. a. Stannigy cowboy, you'd better shoot him right through the heart. Of course I'd known from the first that Bud had at least a fighting chance, ant that's, all a Cressfield needs. When I got back Bud was out of danger. ' "He must be strong as a horse,' l told old Jeb, "He'll live. In a couple of months he can do his own shooting'," "No." Old Jeb's eyes were very thoughtful. "1 don't reckon he will, Doc. Did you know youug Tom Rainse has tools and lit out? Did you know that no police came here?" "They, must have forgotten:" I avoided,3eb's eyes, But I figured I'd done a pretty good job. There had been some- body from every family in the Stannigy waiting to see how Bud would make out and I'd raised my voice, and, .. . Now that the Cressfields knew definitely who had shot Bud they'd be looking only for him. He'd certainly have more sense than to come back. There just couldn't be trouble ut the Stannigy.
