Vega went to the inn, accosted the strang ger,

The stranger rose and walked to the
street, closely followed by Vega, the other

revolver from his blouse and shot the gen.
darrne through the head. Vega fell dead.

upon him. Seeing that escape was hope

breast, fired and fell across Vegas body.

hour dying, threatening to shoot anybody
who touched him.
