MEN WITH A SWEET TOOTH

It was the beginning of June. Wyatt stood at an open window in the office of Earp/Winders Mining trying to find a breeze. Behind him with his shirtsleeves rolled and his collar unbuttoned Virgil sat at a rolltop desk with his feet up, occasionally wiping sweat off his face with a blue handkerchief. In the shade of the overhang downstairs in front of the Crystal Palace the temperature registered at 104.

“Hear Johnny’s been coming around after Josie,” Virgil said.

“Yeah. It’s her house. She’s told him she don’t want to see him, but he comes around some anyways.”

“Going to do anything about that?”

Wyatt smiled.

“Morgan maybe done it for me,” he said.

“Oh?”

A freight wagon pulled by six sweat-darkened mules labored past, heading east up Allen Street. There were three whiskey barrels standing upright and lashed side by side to the back of the driver’s seat.
