Billy Cougar, in Brimstone


"Kidd" Cougar swears he didn't do anything last night, but Hanz Kenyon, the bartender, remembers it differently. It seems Billy boasted of killing a gang leader, taking his place. I don't know what's true here, but whenever Kid wants to prove himself, there's no way in making him back down, even if he is just a boy.
