A Group of swindlers, led by her new foreman, Hal Colby, plot to steal her Bar-Y ranch and gold mine and defraud her out of her rightful inheritance. They are also out to prove that her longtime friend and associate, bull is the stage robbing and murdering bandit of Hell's Bend. Diana is brave and independent, but she relies on Bull and he helps her survive a series of perils that leave the most stalwart reader breathless: Apache raids, stagecoach hold-ups, shoot-outs and even an abduction! But the identity of the mysterious villain remains unknown... A good deal of the novel's authority and amiability consists in its accurate and pervasive use of frontier humor. The Bandit Of Hell's Bend is full of fun, adventure, and suspense from start to finish. The Deputy Sheriff of Comanche County: Who killed Ole Gunderstorm? The evidence seemed to point to Buck Mason. And when Buck went into hiding soon after, there was no doubt in anyone's mind. But Buck knew he was innocent- now he was going to have to prove it. Gunderstrom lay asleep on a cot against one of the cabin walls. A man was crossing the room stealthily with a long-barreled Colt in his hands. The intruder could see the cot and the outlines of the blur that was the sleeper upon it: but he did not see the boot in his path, and half stumbled as he stepped on it. Gunderstrom awoke and sat up. "'Buck Mason! " he exclaimed. A t the same time he reached for the gun beside him. There was a flash in the dark; the silence was split by the report 9fa pistol and Ole Gunderstrom slumped back upon his blanket. The Deputy Sheriff Of Comanche County was published serially under the title ‘The Terrible Tenderfoot’. |
