Diamond Jim Dandy and the Sheriff

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bryan Langdo. Dustpan, Texas, is so boring that the arrival of a rattlesnake is welcome entertainment--to everyone but the sheriff. The lawman wants to run the snake out of town--until the varmint proves his mettle by saving a baby. As yarns go, it's a pretty good one, with illustrations that capture the Old West's sandblasted look.
