Well This is hard to write about. I'm complicated. I guess I have had a good life, up until the past few years and things have taken a down turn. But with the Lords help it will get better. I have traveled some, seen a lot places "some I wish I have never had". Been Married for a good number of years 2 kids a dog and a cat. More gray hairs everyday.

Bill Hanes "Outlaw Tracker" Part-4

The Ranger Posse had followed the Comanche's trail, but it had split into Three groups. The main group had went on south with ten of the horse's. While the other two groups had went west and east with five horse's apiece. The captain decided to stay with the main party and try and get those horse's back, ten was better than none. Bill and another ranger rode ahead to scout out the trail. They had not gone far when an arrow went into the Rangers chest, he fell from his horse and didn't move. Bill reined his horse up and looked to his right. There came three Comanche's riding straight for him. he pulled his Winchester from the scabbard and fired one quick shot. A Comanche fell but the other two keep coming. Bill turned and rode hard back towards the posse. The Comanche's firing at him as he went. Bill turned and fired another shot and a Comanche horse fell throwing the ride into the dust. Bill then reined his horse to a stop turned and fired again, This time missing. The last Comanche turned and went back the way he came, Bill was hard on his trail. He knew if that one got back to the main party they would not get those horse's back. The Comanche Bill had un-horsed was on his feet running the opposed way, but Bill concentrated on the rider, Bill horse was just a bit faster and he was almost on him, he raised his rifle and fired again. The Comanche's horse went down, Bill rode past the fallen Comanche at full gallop and fired again, the Comanche went down with a bullet in his chest. Bill then turned his attention back to the other Comanche, but there was no need the posse had came riding hard when they had heard the shots,and the Captain had taken care of him with one shot from his 45/70 Sharps. A good two hundred yard shot it was too. Bill went and checked the fallen Ranger, he was dead. They buried him and Captain said a few words over his grave and told them to mount up, They had a job to finish. "To be Continued"
