IN BRIEF: California learns that his cousin Thomas Baxter, owner of the Box O Ranch, has died. California drags Hoppy along to the reading of the will. "I must love you like a brother," Hoppy says. "I don't believe there's another man in the county I'd be out with, riding around in the middle of the night in this kind of weather." They are gruffly greeted by housekeeper Matilda Hatchett and David J. Potter, executor of the estate. Baxter's son Ralph wants an advance on his inheritance. Hand Josh Colter wants California to leave. Ruth Baxter says something strange is going on. Cousin Phineas Phipps is the last to arrive. The will leaves five equal shares, but should anyone die, that share will be split among the others. Three want to sell the ranch, Ruth and California don't. Phipps is shot before he can vote. Ruth says her father was poisoned. In his last days he couldn't speak, but he read alot from a book by Channing. Hoppy finds an underlined passage: "Thank heaven for books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead." Ralph finds a clue in the hidden ranch books; 1,500 head of cattle are missing. Ralph is shot in a locked room, but Hoppy discovers a hidden passageway. He accuses Potter with plotting to take the ranch, as there's oil on the property. He's in cahoots with Phipps, who didn't really die. (Swanton)
