Tuttle, W. C. (Wilbur C.) 1883-1969 creator Chambers, Jim 1914-1977 text utu 2025 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Law-star for an outlaw by W. C. Tuttle" is a Western crime novelette written in the mid-20th century. The story centers on Irish Delaney, a hard-riding cowhand who returns to Dancing Flats to clear his uncle’s name and take on a secret vigilante outfit known as the Night Hawks. Irish finds his uncle Hank Farley posthumously framed as the infamous Ghost Rider, while the Night Hawks terrorize locals with threats and “justice” notes. After a robbery and the murder of Al Briggs put suspicion on him, Irish survives an ambush, escapes a kidnapping to the abandoned Lost Goose mine, and prevents a booby-trap from killing the sheriff and deputy. Tracking leads—and the scent on a forged decoy letter—bring him to a showdown at the old 74 ranch, where Buck French is wounded and the revered minister is unmasked as an ex-forger named Strickland, the real Ghost Rider and mastermind of the Night Hawks; the stolen money lies hidden under the church. With the plot exposed and order restored, Irish quietly reveals he’s now a Deputy U.S. Marshal with a family, having returned not for glory but to see justice done.
