IN BRIEF: Cass Doon's father, Martin, owns the Double D ranch. Sandy Ransford has 500 head on his Triple O, ready to ship to market. Dart Hanna, a gunman, show up in town. Someone shoots a jittery little man in a tweed suit named Coyle. It's a dry time of year, but the man's boots are coated with hard, dry blue mud. At the hotel, Hoppy learns the man came to Tamarack with a suitcase, typing machine and telescope. He muttered something to the clerk about a terrible mistake. Ransford denies Doon is out to get him. But there's a fire at his ranch and the herd stampedes, losing 100 over an arroyo. The fire was started, and Doon admits his man Hanna did it. He'd gotten a job by calling himself Ben Larrimore, Doon says. He fired the man, and this was revenge; the fire was meant for the Double D. Hoppy finds stakes in the ground on Ransford's land. Doon offers to buy the ranch from Ransford. Hoppy shoots Hanna before he can shoot Doon. Ransford gets a letter from an engineering firm saying an old survey was incorrect and that much of the Double D including springs is really part of his land. The letter is a fake, made by Hoppy, but it's enough to get a confession out of Doon. A railroad is coming through, and the engineer discovered an error made years ago, at the instigation of Doon's father. (Swanton)
