The bandit of Bloody Run [large print] / Nelson Nye /
aTen-Horse Jones liked range ponies more than guns. But because his dad had been a holy terror, Tombstone and the County Commissioners of Hudspeth expected the same from his young son when they made him sheriff. It was a pretty big joke in the sleepy county because everyone knew Ten-Horse was just an easy-going gent with a fine sense of humor. But the joke was over when a masked bandit started rustling the local herds, unloosing a tornado of killings and hold-ups through the county with no one but Ten-Horse to bring back law and order. Pony George Kasta rode into town looking for a job and Ten-Horse was looking for a deputy. George--known as the "Lawman Poet of Pecos"--had been a deputy in Pecos for ten years and was looking for a change, but he finally agrees to take the job. Jones and Kasta form an unlikely team of lawmen who seem faster with a joke than with a gun. Can this duo possibly catch the bandit of Bloody Run?
