and charged a box of cartridges to his
account, then went back to the saloon.
In moments the crisis was over: one
shot was all it took. He returned the
gun to Kerr, who wiped it down and
put it back in the rack.
Then he went home to grieve for his
good friend.
Sanderson, Dryden, indeed all of
Terrell County and Southwest Texas
went into mourning.
The popular officer of the law was
prepared for burial and moved by
solemn cortege to the railroad station,
to be taken to Brackettville, Texas for
final rites. In the procession behind the
flower-laden casket were men, women,
children, the elderly, the high-born and
the common, marching to muffled
sobs, all paying respect to a good man.
A large crowd of mourners traveled to
Brackettville to attend the funeral, and
it was many days before the melancholy
of this tragic chapter of our history had
faded.
