Still he would have to fight, and he decided to cripple Bosomer. When Bosomer's hand moved Duane's gun was spouting fire. Two shots only — both from Duane's gun — and the outlaw fell with his right arm shattered. Bosomer cursed harshly and floundered in the dust, trying to reach the gun with his left hand.

Born in Zanesville, Ohio, he was a New York dentist until 1904, after which he authored some 60 novels of the old west, including Riders of the Purple Sage," "The Lone Star Ranger," "Code of the West, and "West of the Pecos." Many of his novels were made into films, and many continue to be best-sellers, over 60 years after their author's death.
