About this ebook
This is the seemingly tall tale of the outlaw so brutal that the Devil would be ashamed to mention his name and the lawman determined to bring him to justice, whether that be the jailhouse or the graveyard.

The history of it all has been lost to posterity because it all seems too vivid and vivacious to be reality. The following, however, IS how it really happened.
It was a cool, clear day in Jericho Springs, crisp as could be, when Sheriff Arthur Tanner stepped out of the local saloon and into the dusty, unkempt street. It had been of a particularly unexpected climate as of late, leaving some of the townsfolk quite unhappy and others, quite giddy at the relief from the usual dread heat.
