Apache Trail #3

A cowboy named Curly is murdered in what appears to be an accident, but the Prince Albert Kid and Sheriff Chet deduce the death was actually planned by a killer who used a false beard and manipulated circumstances to make the crime look accidental. The famous man of the West helps solve the case by recognizing the killer's method and identifying the culprit as Bob Dakin, one of the sheriff's own deputies, who had personal motives for the murder and was riding a "killer horse" trained to unseat its rider.
