520			_a"A Notched Gun" by Walt Coburn is a short story written in the early 20th century. This tale delves into the themes of redemption and the violent legacy of the Old West, following the life of a notorious killer as he navigates a tumultuous path marked by crime and the struggle for survival. It presents a character study of Sam Graybull, a man haunted by his past, yet compelled to do something noble for a friend in need. In the gripping narrative, Sam Graybull, a hardened outlaw, executes a cold-blooded bank robbery only to find himself facing a moral dilemma when he discovers that his only friend, Pete Peralta, is in dire need of help due to his wife's life-threatening condition during childbirth. Despite his violent nature and the heavy toll of his past actions represented by the notches on his gun, Graybull chooses to ride through harsh conditions to fetch a doctor, showing a flicker of humanity and loyalty. The story culminates in a tragic but poignant ending, where Graybull falls in a gunfight, but not before ensuring that his bounty money goes to Pete and his family, thus giving his life a semblance of meaning amid his violent legacy.
