    Thursday's RANGER BILL for 9/14/23, is:

RB112 The Mad Bats

 Bats invade the attic of the Phipps' home, and one even bites Edna Phipps. Bill and Stumpy go to evict the bats and discover the bats are sick with rabies! The boys get help fighting off the bats from some feathered friends. One of the Phipps' neighbors causes Bill even more trouble than those pesky bats.

RB110 The Battle at Jenkins Manor

  RANGER BILL for this Tuesday, 9/12/23, is one knock-down, drag-out fight

RB110 The Battle at Jenkins Manor

It's been many years since Stumpy's wife died; and he has finally decided that he doesn't have the time or energy to take care of himself and his house. Bill convinces him that he needs a housekeeper until Bill nominates Maggie Murphy for the job.

Maggie is a strong woman. She needs to be strong, a widow with four boys to care for. She acts much like a drill sergeant, which doesn't set well with Stumpy.

Stumpy is so desperate for a better home life that he hires Maggie, Stumpy's worst fears about allowing Maggie in his house are quickly realized and the battle begins! 

RB111 The Prehistoric Monster

    RANGER BILL for midweek, Sept 13,2023, with:

RB111 The Prehistoric Monster

 The circus has arrived at Junction City. A full-grown bull rhino is its main attraction. This particular rhino doesn't like being in the circus. The huge beast breaks his chains and charges off into the forest. Bill and the boys are called in to find and shoot the marauder before he hurts anyone or does any serious damage. Can our rangers safely corner this prehistoric monster? Will Stumpy's pride endanger the hunt and possibly endanger lives too?

RB109 The Man Who Lost God

   Our RANGER BILL to begin the new work week, 9/11/23, is a strange, Old Testament style mystery:

RB109 The Man Who Lost God

Bill's rangers spot large campfires on the top of Razorback Ridge. Bill, Stumpy, and Gray Wolf go to investigate. They find what appear to be animal sacrifices like sacrifices in the Old Testament. No one is sure who is doing this and why. At the same time the wealthy Thompson family send out letters searching for their lost son. Bill has his hands full with two mysteries at once!

It appears as though RB108 The Wrong Valley and RB109 are both stories of men who have lost God, each in their own way.

RB028 The River Monster

   Our RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, Sept. 9,2023 

RB028 – The River Monster –

 The town of River's Bend builds some new dikes and levees to protect the city and its residents from the flood waters of the Shady River. But dikes can’t protect River's Bend from Zack Stephens and the huge log raft he is floating down the river.
