Bok loomed over Jewett's shoulder, showing inordinate interest in the plans of his two-fisted, iron-bellied lieutenant...
...frosted- glass windows. Now Clayton and Love's widow are ready to retire, but they say that the Crystal Palace is profitable. Local ranchers and tourists enjoy being served by bartenders who wear stiff cotton shirts, string ties and black pants, just like in the days when Wyatt Earp dealt a mean game of faro...
