Jim Hadler, a gun-fanner, with the support of White Hanson, ex-prizefighter, had been the boys' acknowledged ruler, and had no intention of another usurping that rule. He not only broke up the parson's first meeting with his gun, but knocked him down when he remonstrated with Hadler for attempting to kiss his daughters. The parson that night sent a letter to his son, Webster, telling him to come out at once, as he had found a community and needed his assistance. So annoyed was Hadler at the old gentleman's persistence, that when Webster arrived, the bully declared that nothing short of the young parson's conquering his friend, the ex-prizefighter, could persuade him into allowing the Lewis family to remain there. Webster, being an amateur boxer, accepted the challenge and the boys insisted that they would stand by the champion, whoever it may be. On the day of the fight the combatants in regular fighting attire in a ring begin fighting. In the fifth round the young parson shot over a solar plexus blow and an uppercut, which laid the ex-prizefighter on his back insensible. The next day the prizefighter, his friend Hadler, and the boys went to church to hear the parson's first sermon. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
