Hightower

by D. F. Sparks

 

After a long campaign and participating in many battles with the Comanche, Sioux, and Apache, Hightower has earned some time off from scouting for the U.S. Cavalry. He intended to spend it by going back to his hometown, visiting the old homestead, and meeting up with his father’s best friend, Judge Tatum.  Little did he know that when he met the Judge he would also meet the love of his life, the Judge’s oldest daughter, Rachel.

While on leave in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Hightower was going to have an arrowhead removed from his back, requiring him to rest. After the operation, the Judge’s wife and two daughters, Rachel and Dorothy, have taken it upon themselves to care for Hightower. Just as he was healing, he received a telegram stating he was needed to track down a killer.

To make it legal, so Hightower would not be branded as a Bounty Hunter, the Judge pulled some strings and had Hightower sworn in as a United States Marshall. There was only one problem, the killer was Raymond Carter, Hightower’s half-brother. Carter has acquired a reputation of a gunfighter, but he had to commit five cold-blooded murders for the title.

Hightower’s orders were to bring Carter in alive, so he could be hung.
