What Made the Pinto Jump

by Ray Humphreys

About this book

Sheriff Joe Cook and his deputy Shorty McKay arrive in Gunsight City to collect a man accused of swindling the Monte Vista bank. The marshal is confident that he has caught their suspect, but escorting the prisoner gives Shorty further reasons to watch carefully.

Horse talk, tall tales and a prisoner’s attempts to outwit his guards become part of a compact Western mystery. The complete story retains Humphreys’s comic dialogue and the original Western Story Magazine illustration and issue information from 17 November 1928.
