No Wonder
By Tuttle, W. C.
In the untamed heart of the Old West, two grizzled frontiersmen find their peaceful existence upended by Reginald Alfred Jackson Hilton—a bumbling Eastern tenderfoot determined to become a hero. When a lovesick young woman from back East sets her sights on Reginald as her knight in shining armor, Ike and Magpie concoct a wild scheme to turn their hapless guest into a legend. But between runaway mules, misfired hold-ups, and a case of dynamite gone disastrously awry, the line between farce and frontier justice blurs in this uproarious tale of misadventure and mistaken identity.
