Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tied Up for Tombstone" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous novel set in the early 20th century. It takes place in a fictional Western town named Piperock, characterized by the antics and colorful personalities of its citizens, particularly the sheriff and a recently returned vagabond seeking adventure. The storyline likely revolves around themes of lawlessness, political intrigue, and the dynamics of small-town life in the American West. In the book, the protagonist, Ike Harper, returns to Piperock after a lengthy absence, only to find his old partner, Magpie Simpkins, has taken over as the town's sheriff and newly appointed editor of the local newspaper, "The Piperock Pilot". As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to a cast of quirky characters, including the notorious outlaw Tombstone Todd and various townsfolk who find themselves embroiled in comedic misadventures. Magpie struggles with his dual roles while dealing with threats from Tombstone, and his attempts at journalism produce a series of humorous escapades, ultimately culminating in a clever and amusing critique of small-town politics and life.
