In The Bag

Here is another adventure of the original Tom and Jerry (not the cat and mouse), this time in the old west.  These guys do not say much, and the gags can fall into the strange, sometimes violent category typical of many 1932 cartoons.  There is a nice "faux horns" rendition of "Ida," as well as a gag in which the villain robs his victims using a magnet which I believe shows up again in a color Bugs Bunny cartoon.  From the Internet Archive, here is In The Bag.
