There had been no shots. In the narrow pass he could not have missed hearing them.
His party might have gone on down the pass to find shelter before the coming rain. That seemed the only logical answer, and the simplest explanation is usually the one to accept . . . unless your life depends on it.
They might have run into a party of Indians, but the likely explanation was that Kelsey had foreseen their emergence from this pass and had men waiting for them here.
He had forty men, it was said. He
... could easily detach five men for this pass and five for Sioux Pass without crippling his force too much. And if he had men waiting here for the others, and had taken them, he would be expecting Brian also. It was possible he had one or two men waiting down there with rifles.
Under the circumstances, Reuben Kelsey would prefer a dead Brian to a live one.
Drawing back from the crest of the slide, he worked his way along it to the east wall of the pass. Here he could go up the side of the mountain under cover of the aspens.

Whilst Schwartz is saying that Brian would do nothing foolish, he did the most stupid thing so far. I think L'Amour could have had him injured in a less clumsy manner, than stepping out of the concealment and AIMING a rifle. Why a rifle anyway, Kelsey was within yards of him, and he know that Kelsey has been expecting to spot him at any moment. Kelsey used a pistol, no problem.... VERY clumsy.
