You're killing the kid!" some concerned bar room patrons did roar. A gunshot was heard. There wasn't a single spoken word as Frank "Windy" Cahill rolled lifelessly to the floor. Billy struggled to his feet. His bloodied face was so swollen he could barely see. His smoking gun was still clenched in his shaking hand. Congratulations Billy. Now look what you've done. You've gone and killed your very first man. Tales of this incident have been told far and wide from one extreme to the other, such as the merciless killer kid who gunned down the helpless blacksmith and then left the bar whistling without a care or bother, but eye witnesses attest that the first version describes it best and that the following quote seems most accurate and right.
