      Introduction

      This is a continuation of Western Stories a western trilogy. I guess there’s no such thing as number four in a trilogy but that’s what this is. It rather loosely follows Lawmen of Laramie. The book called Western Stories consists of three stories that made up a continuing saga. These stories are Six Wagons to Laramie, Bart of the Badlands and Lawmen of Laramie. So OK, I’m adding a fourth to the trilogy.

      The major player in this story is James Riley who traveled to Laramie with a wagon train along with the Hansom family. The wagon master Buck Benson, married Carla Hansom and Jack Hansom married Beth Riley who was a sister of James Riley’s. They settled west of Laramie nearby the Lazy-L Ranch owned by Gus Landers. James was just a teen ager when he moved into the Lazy-L bunkhouse and hired on as a cowboy.

      In the second book Charlie Burton also known as Badlands Bart comes to the Lazy-L with his wife Mary Who he met in the Dakota Territory. And in the Third story Buck Benson and Bart have become lawmen of Laramie and when a ruthless outlaw gang murders most of the Riley family they form a posse to apprehend them. During the chase James Riley, still a youngster shoots a man in Denver causing some problems for the posse.

      That brings us up to the current, fourth story in what can no longer be called a trilogy. In this story James, now in his early twenties, takes center stage and if you read on you’ll find that he continues to have a life filled with adventure.

      " The Cattle are prowlin’

           The Coyotes are howlin’

           Way out where the doggies roam

           Where the spurs are a jinglin’

           And the cowboy is singin’

           His lonesome cattle call."

                                    --Leann

      Chapter 1 Bounty Hunter

      James Riley was busily feeding horses in the corral near the bunk house on the Lazy-L ranch where he worked as a cowboy. The ranch was owned by the partners Gus Landers and Bill Hansom. James could see the dust of an approaching rider but couldn’t as yet tell who it was.

      There had been recent trouble with cattle thieves but even though James was alone at the bunk house he was not worried. He was wearing a colt 45 on his hip and was quite capable of using it. He had learned from his friends Jack Hansom, Buck Benson and Charlie Burton ‘Badlands Bart’.

      James had been singing to himself. He had a good singing voice and like most of the cowboys on the Lazy-L he sang to the cattle when riding herd. It calmed the steers as well as himself.
