| 520 | _a"Wanted—? by Eugene Cunningham" is a Western short story written in the early 20th century. The tale follows a young Texas Ranger known as Ware’s Kid as he hunts the suspected killer of a ranch partner in the border country, blending pursuit, frontier justice, and moral ambiguity against a stark desert backdrop. The story opens with Ware’s Kid in Dallas, where a barroom dustup proves his mettle before he teams with deputy Bos’ Johnson to interrupt a Sam Bass train robbery at Mesquite. Wounded in the fight, the Ranger discovers Johnson is actually Dell Spreen, the man accused of murdering Eph Carson; yet Spreen saves his life and swears he’s innocent. Reconstructing the ambush at El Castillo, the Ranger realizes the killer had to be a much taller man. He delivers Spreen to Austin for protection and returns to the O-Bar country, where an unseen rifleman tries to kill him. At the ranch he meets grim owner Simeon Rutter and Rutter’s melancholy daughter; together he revisits the murder site and finds a distinctive knife. While camping at Hueco Tanks, Apaches attack; fleeing under moonlight, Rutter is mortally wounded and confesses he murdered Carson for the money and had tried to bushwhack the Ranger. Ware’s Kid secures the confession, resolves to clear Spreen officially, and shields the daughter from public disgrace, choosing compassion over spectacle.
