BOOT HILL MAD HATTERY

The babbling bagman for the Dodge City bar-room brawlers, Bovril Bill , has borrowed the white 10 gallon cowboy hat of Queensland politician Bob Katter to prevent sunstroke while stomping the wide brown land scarring the daylights out of simple sodbusters.

From a distance , he looks strikingly similar to that naïve character, Hoss Cartwright, in the old Bonanza TV series . Hoss , it will be remembered , was Prairie raised, like Bovril Bill, wore a 10 gallon hat and believed in leprechauns .

Bow-legged Bovril , with pearl- handled six shooters strapped to his waist, wants a High Noon shootout with the meandering marshall , Kid Kevin . Marshall Kevin spends a lot of time in Miss Kitty’s Big Apple bar and clipjoint donating money to poor girls who cannot afford to buy Mother Hubbards.
