Harvey Easter brings his jackass behind the shed, but is suspicious of the two men out front. The two men start around the shed to take his gold, but Harvey is ready for them. Harvey shoots one before he can fire, then the other one fires his gun up in the air as he turns and takes off. Harvey tells the station agent that they killed his jackass. Compared with where the jackass was standing to begin with, its body couldn't have been in the position that is shown after being killed.
After Harvey Easter sets fire to a saloon, the former shotgun on the stage asks, "You mean it was Harvey Easter? A skinny man with a tall black hat?"
Even by today's standards, Harvey Easter would not be considered to be skinny as he has a full face and appears to have a stout upper body.
