IN BRIEF: Riding into the Skeleton Mountains just west of the Bar-20, Hoppy is looking for an old friend, Ray Wilson, who's written that the grazing is good there. Hoppy's considering bringing Bar-20 cattle onto the land. They meet Lou Rucker, who says he mistakenly shot at them thinking they were a mountain lion. Rucker tells them how to get into town, but they take another fork, toward Lion Canyon, and come upon a seriously hurt Wilson, who's been clawed by a lion. They take him to Paradise Flats, where Rucker says the storekeeper, Brody, is a doctor. Wilson's wife and son Jimmy arrive and say Brody's no doctor. "All the homesteaders have been leaving," Mrs. Wilson says,"because their herds have slowly been disappearing." They take Wilson to his home, but he needs medical attention. Wilson is kidnapped. Hoppy and California find him in a hole in the ground, an old mine, one end in the canyon, the other in town near Brody's store. Inside, they find cold storage and butchered meat. Jimmy rides into the cave with horses, distracting Rucker and Brody while Hoppy and California turn tables and capture them. [Mike Jackson]
