own.
19--On the outskirts of the town--
Steve rides into picture, going at same speed as before. Man
(not cowboy, but carrying gun in holster) recognizes him as
he approaches. Draws gun, stands at side of road, and, as
Steve comes close raises gun and calls on him to halt. Steve
only bends low and gives the horse the spurs, dashing past
at full gallop. Man raises his gun and fires after him, then
shows by his look of chagrin that he has not stopped him.
20--Looking back over same road, but at point farther on toward town--
Steve rides into picture, his left arm hanging limp, holding
gun in right hand, prepared to use it rather than stop;
reins hanging on horse's neck. He takes reins in right
hand--after restoring gun to holster--and rides on.
21--Exterior of doctor's house, with sign, "Dr. Turner"--
Steve rides into picture, pulls up, dismounts, and with an
expression of pain takes hold of wounded left arm with right
hand, gripping it as if to ease pain. Runs up steps and
knocks at door. As he is facing door, another man sees and
recognizes him. This man is not armed, and he merely shakes
fist at Steve behind the outlaw's back, then passes out of
picture. Dr. Turner comes to door, and falls back astounded
as he recognizes "Aravaipa Steve." "You! What do _you_ want
here?" Then he sees the wounded arm, and points to it. Steve
shakes head emphatically and proceeds to tell what has
happened at the ranch. As he finishes, the doctor looks him
over from head to foot, then holds out his hand, which the
outlaw grasps silently. Dr. Turner beckons him into the
house; but just as Steve is about to follow the doctor in,
the man who saw him knock on the door returns with a party
of ten or a dozen citizens and cowboys. Half a dozen point
guns at Steve and he throws up his right hand in obedience
to their command, indicating that his left is injured. The
doctor tries to explain, but they wave him back. Steve turns
to doctor and tells him to hurry and get the medicine off to
the sick child. Doctor nods. Believing that the outlaw will
be taken to the sheriff, he goes in to prepare the medicine.
Steve is led away by the crowd.
22--Corner of ranch house, same as 5--
Doctor rides into picture, pulling up in front of door. As
he calls out, Jess c
