Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Powder law" by W. C. Tuttle is a Western novel written in the early 20th century. Set in 1880 Montana’s Bad Lands and the boomtown of Wolf Butte, it follows gambler Blaze Carlin and his fearless partner Frenchy Ditteau as they collide with outlaw boss Black Mora and a murderous vigilante ring. Expect fast gunplay, frontier cunning, and a fight to wrest law and order from brute force. The opening of the novel moves from an eerie Bad Lands legend into action as Blaze and Frenchy find a crippled man lynched under a vigilante “V,” then defy Black Mora’s warning sign at a creek and fight off his riders. Cornered at Mora’s ranch, they endure a blazing siege and escape through a hidden tunnel with help from a stoic squaw. Reaching lawless Wolf Butte—its sheriff driven out by fake “vigilantes”—Blaze knocks Mora cold with a beer mug in the Eureka Saloon, after which a secret meeting of true citizens appoints Frenchy sheriff and Blaze his deputy. At dawn they enforce a no-guns order, Frenchy drops a famed gunman who resists, and word comes of a rancher drowned by the vigilantes. When Mex Free tries to ambush Blaze, rival outlaw Chuck Sales quietly kills him, then publicly humiliates Mora and goads him into a fistfight, as Frenchy steps in to claim Mora’s gun and the standoff hangs in the balance.
