by Ray Humphreys

About this book

Sheriff Joe Cook is irritated by his deputy’s interest in the new railroad telegrapher when a message from another town warns of a famous killer’s arrival. Shorty McKay, Mayor Foster and an alarming telegram soon become parts of a confusion that the sheriff is determined to resolve.

Ray Humphreys builds his comic Western around hurried assumptions, interrupted messages and the friction between sheriff and deputy. The complete story retains its period dialogue and matching Western Story Magazine cover from 26 March 1927.
