IN BRIEF: At Cy Otterman's ranch north of the Bar-20, 100 head of cattle are missing. Hoppy is short 100, too, and each figures the other may have taken them. Jess Hendricks, who just brought in a hundred head of Texas steers and ran them through dip, has come up 100 shy, he tells the men. He suspects Sweetwater Valley homesteaders of rustling. Members of the Cattlemen's Association are missing 1,000 animals in all. Bert Larrimore, a nester, pays off his ranch mortgage and is suspected of using money from stolen cattle to do so. He says money was from aunt who died in New Jersey. Hoppy isn't convinced he's guilty, but he doesn't know the real story. Hand Johnny MacIver (introduced in Show 008), who is riding with Hoppy, once dated Marcella Larrimore, until they had a disagreement. She says Bert made the money in a business deal in the east. Smoke Bledsoe, a professional gunman, shows up in North Fork's blacksmith shop. The blacksmith is dead, and Hoppy and Johnny find drawings under the desk of brands from area ranches. Hoppy suspects he made up a set of irons for someone, then was killed. Hoppy wants Bledsoe to have free rein and lead them to whoever's behind things. Johnny tries to pump Bert. Bert pays off an old $50 debt with a bill which smells of cattle dip. Hendricks calls a meeting; he pays Larrimore to make a false confession implicating all the nesters. Hendricks directs Bledsoe to shoot Larrimore through the window. Hoppy intervenes and tells Hendricks to sit in a chair by the window, near a red lamp. Hendricks sings -- not knowing Bledsoe has been put in jail. Hendricks had connections at the capitol and expected to get Sweetwater land if the nesters left. He paid Larrimore $15,000. (Swanton)
