We Jeer Western Pulps; Not So With The English
London—(UP)—Pardner, the Old West may be dead where you hail from but it's still livin' here in the wide, open spaces of the North of England.
Tough hombres with slitted eyes and fingers itchin' for a trigger are as real to many of the kids growing up there as they used to be to the youngaters who read the Deadeye Dick novels in the States 40 years ago. Cow Sets A Record
Only the tight paper quota keeps these stories from turning even more boys into potential Colt-carrying cowhands. As it is, newstands sell right out of lurid-covered, paper backed yarns bearing such action titles as "The Two-Gun Terror" or "Reach for the Sky, Stranger!"
One of these, printed in prosy, smoky Manchester with nary a gulch, or a canyon, or yet a ranch in sight, has a cover apparently conveying a British artist's idea of a Western gunman.
This "startling drama," as it calls itself, would have startled even Buffalo Bill had he seen a ranch hand shooting left-handed with his gun spitting flame although there doesn't appear to be a finger on the trigger.
But it's only a mere detail.
The dialogue is early vintage Deadeye Dick. This is a fair example. Tex Wilson is riding home after a long absence and finally reaches his home range.
"Sixshot," he mutters to his horse, a pinto pony, "I'm powerful afraid things are bad wrong. I don't see any cow critters loping about the range."
Then he is framed for the murder of his girl friend's father and is about to be hanged by the crooked sheriff when a half-breed outlaw lurches into court and announces he has vital evidence.
Most of the books are in the same vein and are practically required reading, when available, for anyone under 17 and lots of adults, travel frustrated on this little island.
The sheriff, naturally, "falls into the a killer's crouch" and taunts the "baffles and loafers who ran from the room" as "havin' sand in yore craws."
The Old West dead? Pardner, when you say that in Manchester, smile!!!

Garrison, N. D. — (UP)— Nick Krebsbach, Jr., who farms near here, has some magic formula when it comes to raising cattle—or so his neighbors think. An eight-year-old shorthorn cow recently gave birth to twin calves. Just 11 months ago, the same cow gave birth to triplets. All offspring are normal in every respect.
