The Legend of Jesse Wells

It was 1862 and what a year it was. A man by the name of Jesse Wells was about to become a legend, but not the kind of legend to be proud of. Jesse had a mean temper, and when the Saloon doors swung open things got quiet, and people scattered. Jesse would enter the Saloon, spit a wad of tobacco juice on the floor, shoot his six-shooter in the air, and say, "Where's my whiskey?" The bartender would rush over, hand a bottle over to Jesse, and run back to the bar in fear for his life because he was the third bartender who replaced the other two who were shot dead by Jesse Wells for not tending to his every need. As Jesse was walking past a table of men playing poker one of the men at the table started laughing at Jesse and Jesse said, "What's so funny?" Right before the man had a chance to answer Jesse he shot the man right between the eyes, and said, "Anyone else thinks it's funny?" The men just sunk in their chairs, and Jesse kicked the dead man out of his chair, sat down, and said, "Boy's you ready for some poker?"

The man replied, "Sure, Jesse."

The cards were dealt and about midway in the game Jesse noticed one of the men sliding another card in his hand and when the cards were laid down Jesse said, "There's one thing I don't like and that's someone who cheats." Jesse pulled his gun out of his holster, shot the cheating man in the head, and said, "If I catch anyone else cheating you'll get what these two men got."

The remaining two men were shaking in their britches and could barely hold their cards in their hands as Jesse dealt them their cards. One of the men decided to get up from the table and leave. Just as he was walking towards the Saloon doors Jesse shot the man in the back, and he fell dead, and Jesse said, "I need some more whiskey!” As the bartender was pouring Jesse his drink it was spilling on the table, and onto Jesse's pants, Jesse shot the bartender point blank in the head then he flipped the table over, and got up, and said, "What's wrong with you people?"

Jesse stormed out of the Saloon back to his ranch to tend to his cattle.
