Sleepy Cat Gambler Tale of Robbery and Train Arrival
In Sleepy Cat, John Selwood defends a wounded partner after a shooting at Bartoe's gambling den. A year later Selwood returns as Wentworth's representative, aiding a settler and recovering a girl's shoe while Moses McCracken laments a $600 loss in the same gambling district. McAlpin questions the robbery, and Sleepy Cat's frontier trade blocks are described along with key merchants and a railroad celebration.
