Shootout in 'Els Bells.

 The Parker County War

Local vigilantes have been gathering under the name of the "Pan-handle gang."  This has nothing to do with the Texas Panhandle, but relates to an incident reported in the Jericho Gulch Chronicle.  Apparently Doc Harddick had to remove a pen handle from the rear orifice of Boss Boggs following a chuck wagon accident.

A group of retired Buffalo Soldiers is the gangs target, but they reckoned without the presence of former Sergeant Major Samuel L. Deadshot who has rallied the boys to his crew.

Word on the street has it that Poor old Consuela, an 80 year old former Nun in the Mexican village of Els Bells is the latest target of Hoss Boggs' affections.  Consuela is unusually reluctant.  The Buffalo Boys intend to rescue her.

(Doc Harddick's brother Roger is of course a local rancher and owner of the Slippery K.Y.)

Parker County Nevada

'Els Bells

Samuel L. Deadshot and his bro's form a line and walk slowly forward.

Slim Pickens charges across the street and discharges into the Panhandle boys.

And the Panhandle hang shoot poor Pedro dead.

Stampede!  The steers burst into town heading for Slim.  Walking Bear has to give up his sniping, although he has already thinned down the enemy.

Slim rescues Consuela from her hot date with Seymour Butts behind the church.

Slim then drags her across town away from the Panhandle boys.

And a gun battle erupts across poor Pedro's body.  Juanita the one toothed donkey looks on, unfazed.

The Windy Kid takes up position centre street behind the whiskey barrels.  For a Jumpy fellow he really keeps proving his worth.

Walking Bear downs another one.

Seymour shoots it out with a lurking Panhandle boy, downing him.

And Samuel L drives off the group facing him (although Windy did most of this)

The Stampede carries off the outhouse, as the Panhandle Gang ride for the hills.

Boss is the last one to go.  I bet Walking Bear gave him a wave to see him off.

Slim ended up abandoning Consuela, but he had a rare smile on his face!
