Merridrew Follows the Trail — John Russell Fearn

From the author of NAVAJO VENGEANCE. The only disturbance to Sheriff Brad Wood's siesta is the arrival of a telegram from a singer asking for a job. Why should anyone want to come to a one-horse, dead-and-alive cow town like this? Soon, a whole gang of strangers pull into town - and soon, there is gun-play. Mayor Merridrew gets down to sorting it out, but little does he know that he will soon be on trial - for murder.
