* {{Posse}}: The sheriff organizes multiple posses in an attempt to catch the Rawhide Killer, all of which fail because he is too adept at hiding his tracks. Only the last one, where they catch him in the act, succeeds.

* NonProtagonistResolver: The Rawhide Killer is shot and killed by two random members of the posse, with the sheriff only arriving in time to hear his dying words. Narratively, this allows the killer (who is a mass murderer) to die without the hero being forced to kill his own brother.
