History:
(Frontier Western#10/5 (fb) - BTS) - The Squire built
himself a reputation as the southwest's most notorious gunman.
(Frontier Western#10/5 (fb)) - The Squire and Sheriff
Dick Manton faced off in a gunfight, with Manton proving superior,
disarming the villain. The Squire was arrested but swore revenge on the
sheriff. He was taken to jail. Meanwhile, Manton met and married the
pacifist Holly Maughn, who convinced him to give up guns in the town.
Three peaceful years passed until a warning came that the Squire had
been released as he headed back to Manton's town to exact revenge.
(Frontier Western#10/5) - In the town's street, the
Squire faced the unarmed Manton ready to gun him down. But Holly
finally realized the dangers of the American frontier and threw her
husband his guns. The Squire shot and missed his mark, but Manton
caught his guns and quickly disarmed the Squire again. The villain was
arrested and led away to be locked up with an expected longer
sentence.

CLARIFICATIONS
:
The Squire has no known connections to:
Sheriff Dick Manton had outdrawn and disarmed the
criminal known as the Squire in a gunfight, after which the Squire was
arrested and swore revenge on him. Two weeks later with the territory
in peace, Dick met new ranch owner Walter Maughn and his daughter
Holly, both from England. Holly was instantly attracted to Dick, but
averse to his guns, and persuaded him with marriage to stop wearing
them; he even banned them in his town. But the Squire returned three
years later and was about to shoot the unarmed sheriff when Holly
suddenly wised up and threw the sheriff his guns. A quick
catch and shooting, and Dick downed the Squire again. Holly embraced
Dick, acquiescing she was now a western girl, no longer an English
woman, and acknowledged Dick needed his guns after all.
