The Bride Comes To Yellow Sky Week Forecast for Yellow Sky
By Stephen Crane Texas
It’s the late 1800’s and Yellow Sky town marshal, Jack Potter, left for Thursday: Low 93 High 101
San Antonio a few months back for some unannounced reason. Friday: Low 86 High 96
Nobody in his small, little town had any idea why he went there, or Saturday: Low 81 High 92
had a clue when he would return home. There, in San Antonio, he met Sunday: Low 83 -High 91
a woman who, soon after their meeting, became his wife. The girl Monday: Low 87 High 98

happy to be with each other. Potter returned home with his bride
shorty after their marriage, on a train that road straight across Texas Wednesday: Low 91 High 99
with only four stops along the way.
Meanwhile, back in Yellow Sky, Jack Potter’s greatest
rival, Scratchy Wilson, has become restless in his opponents absence;
all he wants is a good fight and some gun shots. Unaware of Potter’s
journey to San Antonio, he barges into the “Weary Gentlemen” bar
demanding answers and ready to shoot through the heart anyone who
gets in his way. Finally he decides to go straight to Potter’s
house, unable to get his fight. Finding it utterly empty, he waits there
confused, guns at the ready, for Jack Potter’s return.
When Potter and his bride finally make it home after days of long
travel, carrying their bags, they exit the train. The two begin to head
home unaware of what is waiting for them. Laughing together, they
reach Potter’s house to find Scratchy Wilson pacing on the front
porch, reloading a gun. Not noticing the girl, Wilson goes ahead and
asks for what he wants … a fight, right then and there. When Potter
explains that he does not carry a gun, the other man protests, but is
ultimately unwilling to challenge an unarmed man.
