The July line-up:
A DRUNKEN BLACK JACK – A couple of miners thought they could get the best of Black Jack Ketchum because Black Jack was drunk. But they were wrong.

JUAN BIDENO – When a tough man meets up with a TOUGH man, as in the case of this story, the TOUGH man usually wins.
JOHN HARDEN KILLS TOWN – During his life John Wesley Harden killed about 22 men. In addition, it could very well be that the death of a thriving town could also be laid at his feet. (See Picture)
