Short in size, Two Bit Higgins beats up the much bigger Dandy Barker in a bar fight in an southern Arizona gold mining town. He is then named a deputy sheriff, also showing how dangerous he actually was with a gun when Barker comes back for revenge. How long will it be before Barker and his gang come back for Two Bit and the show down?
Pretty typical western short story, although the mystery of the main character & the ending were both better done than normal. I believe the end credits said it was first published in a western magazine in the mid 1930's. Far better than I'd expect from that. Well read, too. Only took 45 minutes.
