Him a cowman, an' he turned ag'in' his kind for money.
Are we goin' t' let him get away ?" Henry Dorgan's feeling of relief was gone, and he crouched behind Mr.
Sherwood and Bill Jordan, white-faced with fear, as a loud "No!" came from a majority of the men.

This turn of events caused a breach in the vigilantes' ranks.

The Bar O men stood by Mr.Sherwood, but some of the cattlemen from the Junction hated sheepmen more than they loved the law.
"Better give Dorgan up," Walt Lampson advised Mr.Sherwood.
"No," replied Mr.Sherwood.
A movement began in the crowd.

Men ranged themselves on one side or the other.

With the Bar O men and those left from the Junction crowd, Mr.
Sherwood now headed about twenty vigilantes; they were outnumbered.
