| The Quiet Ones: Rush Kenyon rode into Silver City to
collect his due. In his pocket were a passel of mine claims, in his
holster a newly oiled Colt. The claims said that he owned the land of the
town’s main street, and the Colt said he’d be collecting his rent. But
as he walked down that hell-roaring thoroughfare, a bullet smashed into
the wall next to him. That’s how he learned there was another claimant
to those deeds in town, with the gunpowder to back up that case.
Nothing but My Gun: After having been burned out just for trying to mind his own business and raise a few cattle of his own, Bill Keith was desperate enough for anything. As the son of the notorious Killer Keith, the cards sure seemed stacked against him. But the outlaw’s son learned fast about his new job. He learned that he had to draw first and shoot straightest, because there was nothing more worthless than a dead hired gun. |
