Incident with Bat Masterson

Father had a run in with the now infamous Bat Masterson of Dodge City. 

Father was instructed to vote a certain way by the Wheatland Caucus. 
Bat came by to "make sure" the vote was cased the "correct" way. 

Bat said, 
                 "vote like your suppose to vote or I'll plaster you across the building." 

Bat was a big, well built man, Father slender and about 5'6" or 5'7". 

Father said, 
                  "Just maybe you will." 

A confrontation would have developed but something in Fathers piercing blue eyes or the way he said it, made Bat walk away.
