Hanging Jimmy Ringo — E. Jefferson Clay

It would have been funny if things weren’t so serious.Savage was ready to go on with the gun duel when, through the rising dust and atop the false front of the general store on the south side of the square, he caught the glint of sunlight on gunmetal. He sighted the hunched figure of a man in military blue lining Jimmy Ringo up in his sights.And at the top of the street, uniformed figures on horseback appeared.Kirk was back!There was no time to shout a warning. Savage drew and fired. The sniper toppled and nose-dived twenty feet to the street. Realizing what was happening, Ringo cut loose as troopers charged, and in moments Ringo, Savage and Yaqui Joe were hightailing for the nearest exit from the square.
