Battle of the Van Horn trading post

In May 1899, Colton "White Hat" and Luis Silva rode up to the Van Horn trading post to buy supplies and food, they were ambushed by James "Black Hat" and Chazd. As James tackled down Colton, Luis fired only just missing James's head and as a result James and Chazd ran back to take cover in a recently burnt building. Luis thinking he had a clear shot got out of cover and was hit in the neck, piercing his wind pipe and artery killing him slowly as he lost blood. In retaliation Colton charged forwards across the street and into the building, kicking James out the window and shooting Chazd in the face. James rode off, worried by the set back whilst Colton buried both Chazd and Luis. Colton would then ride north and reach Annesburg where he spoke to Nathan the "Lanky".
