The Red Bandanna

The Red Bandanna by Max Brand is about Clancy Morgan. Clancy has been accused of murdering a man and must prove he is innocent and bag the true criminal to stay alive. Excerpt: "The cook threw a half dozen tomato cans out of the cook wagon, and the men began to knock them about with their Colts. Clancy Morgan, being a new hand on that ranch, took his turn with the rest, but he found that a quart can diminish to too small a point when it has been hurled by a strong arm."
