IN BRIEF: Old friend Jim Dodge sends an SOS to Hoppy. Since the drought, he's been unable to make mortgage payments. The Range Association is putting in irrigation, but can't meet the deadline because of a series of accidents. Charlie Garrett, the ranch foreman, doesn't get along with Hoppy. Jose Blackfeather, a ranch hand, disappears. Dodge is found shot dead by a .270 and Blackfeather is accused. Hoppy is suspicious, though, that Garrett has a new rifle. Hoppy says that by his will, Dodge left the ranch to Garrett. Lawyer Sam Conway, however, says there was a later will leaving it to Kay Darling, granddaughter of a friend of Dodge's. She shows up, driving a Duryea Special. She says she plans to sell the ranch. There's further violence. Hoppy suspects there's oil on the land. It turns out Conway and his law clerk Nat Shively conspired to kill Dodge, and brought in Darling as a fake. (Ashkenazie)
