The Lonely Law

The Lonely Law was Jim Larribee, sheriff of Pinnacle County. Larribee had been befriended in many ways and had finally been helped to his office by Big Dan Sharples: and rumor had it that Big Dan owned Larribee from ears to hocks, and the star with him. But Larribee felt different. He knew that the star built a wall around a man -- that he was in a damned lonely corner. But the middle of the road was where he would stay, playing no favorites, and whoever set out to use him as a sucker or a handy man could well learn some hard facts of life.
