Lead Law by John Russell Fearn

Clyde was building himself a ranch and had big plans for his land.  Then the railroad came close enough to his land for them to create a spark while laying the line and he lost his property value in one big fire.  Summerville didn't care and refused to take responsibility for it.  Bad blood between them results in a battle to the end...

Pioneering Press sent me a copy of this book to read for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can buy a copy now.

Clyde does things lawfully and refuses to shoot anyone except in a fair fight or defending himself.  Sommerville buys his way along and doesn't care who dies on the way.  He sets up a bank robbery and blames it on Clyde.  Then he buys the Mayor of the town and works on getting Clyde hung.

Clyde's girlfriend breaks him out and then they are both on the run from Sommerville.  The good marshall gets murdered by Summerville, that way he can't testify.  It looks like Clyde might not be able to escape the noose...

Sommerville knows all the dirty tricks and no matter how much money he has he wants more.  At least justice finally gets him in the end...
