Bullets in the Sun by Robert J Horton

First appeared as a serial in 1931. When the county sheriff arrives in Sunrise and inquires about a man named Bovert, curiosity and rumors spread. Gambler Dan Farlin and his daughter Gladys are wanting to head south to ranch and better climes but he needs money to pay for the ranch. Big Tom Lester runs the Red Arrow saloon and the town of Sunrise. Outlaw Ed Lawson has special immunity in Sunrise, therefore he leaves the town alone. Lester approaches Farlin with a deal to get fast money and Dan feels this is his only answer to getting Gladys out of this town. Bovert, or Jim Bond, arrives and starts to stir things up. Not a bad read.
