Things Even Up Case Told by Arizona Colonel
An old country saying is cited by a colonel from Arizona about things balancing themselves. He recalls Jude Cade with two brothers Jack and Bill who pursued horse theft, arrests, and eventual consequences. The tale suggests justice may miss or misfire, leaving only later reckonings and public perception to settle scores.
