Might I direct you Learned Sirs to a humble film, with John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart, called The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance? The circumstances are similar, Stewart bravely called Lee Marvin out, but Wayne actually delivered the death blow. Not exactly the same situation, but alike enough.
Another point, Stewart was "crowned" senator,while Wayne led a humble existence.
I wonder if Wayne cleared out the rest of the bad guys in his hometown. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
