Fifty-Fifty with Bonnie

The Ridgway Company (in Adventure Magazine) • April, 1917
Keywords: classic western fiction, cowboy humor, W. C. Tuttle, vintage pulp fiction, Montana ranch story, Old West tall tale, Adventure magazine 1917, comedic Western short story, early 20th century cowboy fiction, Seven-A ranch hands

When a letter goes astray and two refined Eastern ladies arrive at the Seven-A ranch with six trunks and grand expectations, the ornery cowhands of Hank Padden's outfit find themselves on the receiving end of a misunderstanding nobody bargained for. Chuck Warner, a bow-legged jokester with a gift for stretching the truth, can't resist spinning a few tall tales to amuse himself and rattle his trail-mates—particularly the long, slow-witted Swede left in charge while the boss is away. As schemes pile atop schemes and the prospect of a dozen marriageable girls looms on the horizon, the lonesomeness of ranch life gives way to a roaring tangle of mistaken identities, hollered conversations, and sagebrush mischief. Set on the Montana range of a bygone era, this rollicking yarn from pulp-fiction favorite W. C. Tuttle delivers cowboy comedy at full gallop.

Keywords: classic western fiction, vintage Western fiction, W. C. Tuttle, cattle rustling, humorous Western, frontier sheriff, Old West short story, pulp adventure magazine, cowboy tall tale, American frontier humor

In the dusty reaches of Yellow Rock County, cattle are vanishing faster than Sheriff Magpie Simpkins can roll a smoke, and the local ranchers have run out of patience. When a hired detective arrives to hunt the rustlers and a tall, sermonizing stranger calling himself a 'Bringer of Light' wanders into town, the trouble multiplies in unexpected ways. Narrated in the salty drawl of emergency deputy Ike Harper, this classic frontier yarn from W. C. Tuttle blends tall-tale humor, mistaken identity, and the rough justice of the open range. A short, comic Western from the golden age of pulp adventure.
