James B. Hendryx

Author of "The Texan"

When Tex Benton said he'd do a thing, he did it, as readers of "The Texan" will affirm. So when, after a year of drought, he announced his purpose of going to town to get thoroughly "lickered up," unsuspecting Timber City was elected as the stage for a most thorough and sensational orgy.

But neither Tex nor Timber City could foresee the turbulent chain of events which were to result from his high, if indecorous, resolve, here set down—the wild tale of an untamed West.

A well-known writer, who has served his apprenticeship in the cow country, said the other day, "I like Hendryx's stories—they're real. His boys are the boys I used to work with and know. His West is the West I learned to love."
