He had no idea why the stranger at the bar forced a shoot-out for no reason. All Jud knew was that, when the smoke had cleared, he had killed a man for the first time in his life. It was only later that he found out from the local lawman that his victim had been Whitey Tillford, a notorious gunman who had never before been outdrawn, and that this would make him, Jud, subject to challenges from every glory hunter and every plain bad actor who wanted to boast he had bested Whitey's killer.
