But fate, in the cards, interviewed.
Fink had bid four. A lot of low
trumps in Carpenters hand beat
him. AS the men rallied at the Irish

down.
Out in the open they went for the

Carpenter, in a long battle won,

A little later in a camp by a river

he had shot to kill Carpenter.
One horse, with one gun and the
saddle bags, had been found dead at

to rive Fink, without food or water,
