through a hired "gun" named Swallow. Cheyenne kills Swallow in a shootout. Dembro
becomes drunk in the ensuing celebration and dies in a fire, though Sheila could have

Cheyenne is freed but townspeople, believing Cheyenne's guilty, form a lynch mob,

Summary:
Jesus Berruezo, a 10-year-old Mexican boy, has an obstruction in each
ear. Because Jesus can't hear, he can't imitate the sounds others
make, so he has been speechless all his life. The village priest
tells the boy's family that if they can take him to Guadalajara,
1000-miles away, the doctors can perform a minor operation on the
boy's ear, and Jesus will then be able to talk like everyone else.
The family is heartbroken, because it will take three years to save
the amount needed for his transportation. That night, Jesus takes a
little bread, a piece of cheese, his best clothes and the precious
letter the priest wrote to the doctor in Guadalajara, and sets off on
the long pilgrimage from his little village to the big city. [TA]
