"Bull", some time foreman of the Bar-Y Ranch, who seldom smiled and when not in liquor, rarely spoke. Elias Henders, the Boss, and a pretty good fellow in every way, had warned Bull that the Bar-Y could not afford to have a foreman who got drunk, and Diana Henders with whom he is in love, had turned the cold shoulder upon him the last time. Hal Colby, the handsomest of the ranchmen, had a pocket flask, with which he tempted Bull to drink more than he should, and despite the efforts of Texas Pete, Bull went wild and was discharged. He was hired as a hand the next day and Colby became the new foreman. This situation developed into a bloody feud between Colby and Bull.
