Duel
Buck walked the streets of Middletown with a six-shooter strapped to his side, daring any who insulted his authority to a contest. One day he ran into Captain Good on the main street, and there were harsh words shared between the two men. Later in the day, they met again, and this time it was a shooting affair, with Buck coming out of the exchange unscathed. The captain was seriously wounded in the arm and legs. In another unrelated incident, Buck shot and killed a man in the Middletown skating rink, turning the arena into a scene of pandemonium.
