Sleepy Cat's Fourth of July Shootout and Secrets

In Sleepy Cat the Fourth of July melee erupts as Frank Sanger and his gang clash with Dave Tracy in a crowded saloon. Tracy is wounded, Sanger is killed, and a young man named Selwood, hiding behind a gambling past, emerges amid smoke and gunfire. Doctor Carpy recounts the chaos while Wentworth eyes a freighting opportunity tied to the railroad's arrival.
