The Shootout at JB Corral was the culmination of bad feelings between several local cattle rustlers and Mr. Nigel Bowler, owner of The Short Limb Saloon and husband of hostess Miss Twitty. Bowler was forever grateful for the presence that fateful afternoon of renowned French photographer Jean "Le Flash" Barrie, who captured the event. Barrie coincidentally had been setting up to do a cover shoot for Hog Farmers Quarterly, featuring centerfold Truffles, when the trouble broke out. The three rustlers were a hardened gang who drank whiskey daily at The Short Limb and had a reputation for their brutality and for shooting the place up when they had a gut full of whiskey. Bowler, a wealthy businessman and owner of prize livestock, had hired Chief Halfacowa to protect him and his interests after Sherriff Noah Ballz had fled town in fear. Halfacowa, leader of the nearby Hindaquata tribe, was well known for his injunuity, as he jokingly called it, in designing his very lethal sawed off shortbow, which he used with lightening fast speed. The gang consisted of rogue cow punchers Larry Ettes and Bernie Brand plus the extremely farsighted ex-rodeo clown Raymond Blurr. Since being kicked in the head saving a thrown rodeo rider, Blurr's eyesight had been badly affected. Also he had begun making strange lifestyle choices, which included swapping his horse for retired circus bear Florence, but the man was so volatile none of the others dared to question him about it. On this fateful day the fearsome gang had ridden up with pistols drawn on Bowler, Miss Twitty and his crew who were loading up a champion bull to take to his ranch. Bowler and his driver froze with fear as Brand, firing his gun into the air, demanded they turn over the beast. At the sound of the gun shot Chief Halfacowa instinctively snapped up his sawed-off shortbow and in a split second sent an arrow into Larry Ette's chest, dropping him on the spot. Raymond Blurr, eyes straining, began firing at the enemy excitedly from his bear perch but mistook Brand for Halfacowa and emptied his 6-shooter into him; whereupon Florence spooked , threw Blurr off and ran into the bush. Blurr, the lone gang survivor, was arrested and subsequently sentenced by the circuit judge to hang for rustling. Ironically though, in a twisted way the condemned man had the last laugh. When the executioner asked him to step up to the noose Blurr misjudged the distance and walked off the platform, breaking his neck.

If this dont get us in to see the producers at Spike tv.....then I just dont know what......SPLENDID WRITING JACK
@john-barry Well....I won't lie to you JB; I have been approached by Quentin Tarantino's people regarding this story for a gritty, off-beat western they want to call "Blurr Unswung". I was waiting to see what their offer was before surprising you.

DEEEE-Luxe !!!.....you may wish to nail down a gender/naming issue regarding one of the "rogue cow punchers" previously named as: Larry Ettes , Bernie Brand and/or Raymond Blurr
The spirited dame with the flowing red hair is Miss Twittie, who got her deserved mention in the saga.
Scene breakdown: Bernie Brand leapt off his nag to command the scene and grab the bull. Miss Twitty grabbed his ride and is preparing to fight back back as Larry Ette, seconds from receiving an arrow, is trying to stop her. It's a blood bath unfolding JB.....strictly PG strongly recommended stuff.
I have no explanation for the late arrival of the era-errant Ford pickup with the Rhino-bed protective application. It must be the late arrival of the ferrier who, when driving by, could see that the scene playing out before his eyes was a "really big shoe".
