IN BRIEF: There's going to be an election in Mills Valley and Joe Benson is a reform candidate running against incumbent Sheriff Meeker. Mary, daughter of Hoppy's old friend John Stebbins, is trying to help Benson. They say Meeker always brings in illegal voters in the afternoon to tip the balance his way. Dr. Jack's hawking Chippewa Indian Elixir, meanwhile, from a medicine show set up on Mary's vacant lot. He leaves town without paying the $30 due in rent. Hoppy goes to collect, and is given a check. When he gets back to town, the ink has disappeared. This gives Hoppy an idea. He's been asked to be on a poll committee. In the afternoon, the ink bottle smashes and Hoppy substitutes a new one. When the votes are counted, it's 103 for Benson, 97 for Meeker, nine blank. Benson gives away his plan when he swears at the cowpokes who were supposed to vote for him. Hoppy says he had California pour some of Dr. Jack's elixir into the ink bottle. It worked just long enough to do the job before fading. [Richard T. Parker]
