IN BRIEF: The cowboys are on the road near the Circle-X, a falling-down ranch run by old man Lawson's son Andy. Someone shoots at the stage and the driver is killed. A woman is inside, Jane Lawson. She says she shot the bandit, who was all in black. A junk wagon appears, driven by Old Tom the Tinker, who speaks in verse. At the ranch, Andy is hurt; someone took a potshot at him. The sheriff arrests Andy; some loot is found in the house. Matt Garrett, owner of the stage, stirs a lynch mob, which turns on Hoppy. He is clipped by a bullet and puts his arm in a sling. Hoppy ultimately reveals Tinker Tom as the robber; gold coins are in his wagon and his horse is the only one that will tolerate wearing the robber's horse's black hood over its head. Hoppy has a gun hidden in the sling, and shoots Tom when he pulls a gun. Hoppy's clue: A little metal slug, or tinker's dam, found near the holdup. (Bill Holmes)
