Sister Blandina had saved a friend of Billy the Kid. When Billy the Kid wanted to scalp four doctors for not treating him, Sister Blandina asked Billy to do her a favor, which, because of their friendship, he agreed to before he knew she wanted. She asked him to spare the doctors so he left town without hurting them.

Billy the Kid had a great respect for Sister Blandina. He was coming to town to kill the 4 doctors who refused to help his friend after he had been shot. It was Sister Blandina who nursed Billy the Kids friend back to health and he was very grateful. Sister Blandina asked him to spare the lives of the 4 doctors, which he granted.
