From reviews:
"Alexander Burdick is a mild, calm man from the East. But he carries a double-barreled twelve gauge shotgun and knows how to use it. A photographer by trade, he drives his wagon into town to set up a business"
"The Justice family are the big ranchers in the area, and the son is jailed on bogus rape charges. (Interesting choice of family name, as the patriarch is a law unto himself.) Alexander doesn’t particularly like the son, but is in love with the Justice daughter"

Set in the late 1800's. Photographer who found his wife in bed with another man refrained from killing them even though he was carrying a shotgun. Now he's out West & decides that he won't put up with people 'abusing' him any more.
The son of a local cattle baron runs him down in the street while he's taking a picture. He goes after the son with his shotgun but in the end simply beats him to a pulp. Then he meets the daughter & basically falls in love although there are obvious difficulties since he's beaten up her brother.
Meanwhile most of the town is fighting against the cattle baron who claims they're rustlers-and it turns out the cattle baron is right. One of the women he meets almost convinces him that the cattle baron is simply a tyrant-until he learns that she's out to get the cattle baron & his family because they killed her father who actually was a rustler.
I believe the cattle baron's family name was Justice, or possibly Justus.
