- 0:54Speaker 1: Dning you, mister Conway, nurser.
- 0:56Speaker 4: And Max Shiley. Mister Conway's law cuts anything I can
- 1:00Speaker 4: high name his Apolong Cassidy. Oh, of course, mister Cassidy.
- 1:04Speaker 4: We're expecting you right this way, so he follow me.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Mister Conway is in his private office.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Just get into town. Yeah, it's mister Cassidy. He and
- 1:13Speaker 3: h Carson California.
- 1:15Speaker 1: Carlson come here. Uh as it does. Thanks. I had
- 1:23Speaker 1: a letter from Jim Dodd. He wrote me huge shows
- 1:26Speaker 1: how to get to his ranch the Lazy d Yes,
- 1:28Speaker 1: of course I'd take.
- 1:29Speaker 5: You there of myself if my horse wasn't over the
- 1:31Speaker 5: blacksmiths shop right now, but it's easy enough to get there.
- 1:35Speaker 1: I certainly hope you can do Jim some good.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you the truth, mister Conway. I didn't
- 1:40Speaker 4: quite understand from his letter just what his trouble is,
- 1:43Speaker 4: except that he seeing pretty bespate about meaning pains all along.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Else, the old man's had some mighty bad breaks lately.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Since the drought hit this area.
- 1:51Speaker 3: His capital had been dying like flying grout.
- 1:53Speaker 6: Why that ring we just ridded through didn't seem.
- 1:56Speaker 5: Like any drought to me, mister Carlson. That was the
- 1:58Speaker 5: first ring we've had months, and it's only a drop
- 2:01Speaker 5: in the bucket compared.
- 2:02Speaker 1: To what we need.
- 2:03Speaker 3: You don't stay.
- 2:04Speaker 5: From the looks of that blazing the sun outside, I'd
- 2:07Speaker 5: be surprised if it rained again for another long stretch.
- 2:10Speaker 5: That's why mister Dodge borrowed money enough from the Valor
- 2:12Speaker 5: Range Association to put in a new irrigation sys. He
- 2:16Speaker 5: wrote me, and trumble seems to be that if he
- 2:18Speaker 5: doesn't complete the irrigation project in another five weeks, he
- 2:21Speaker 5: loses the range. Unfortunately, that's true unless he pays off alone.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Of course, I've been doing my level best to.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Get an extension.
- 2:29Speaker 3: But with all these accidents he's been having.
- 2:32Speaker 1: That's another thing.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Mister Conway, Jim doesn't think they were accident.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Well, you can't blame the old man's for being.
- 2:39Speaker 5: Suspicious, mister Cassidy. I suspected fire play myself when the
- 2:42Speaker 5: scaffolding on the new Damn.
- 2:44Speaker 6: Callet killed three of his men, I understand.
- 2:46Speaker 5: Yes, that's right, two more dad, just yesterday in a
- 2:49Speaker 5: premature explosion of some dynamite. The sheriff investigated both times,
- 2:54Speaker 5: and pretty fairly too, but there doesn't seem to be
- 2:57Speaker 5: anything to point to the possibility of foul play.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Are you pretty familiar with these men working for Dodge?
- 3:03Speaker 4: Is there any chance that one or two might be
- 3:05Speaker 4: uh well, worn't under color for other interests.
- 3:08Speaker 3: You mean, for the Valley Range Association, nor mister Cassidy.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Hardly.
- 3:13Speaker 5: It's an Eastern controlled outfit. They'd be above all that
- 3:16Speaker 5: sort of thing. However, uh, since you bring it up. Yeah, gone,
- 3:22Speaker 5: I don't like to cast suspicion, but guards in his ranch,
- 3:26Speaker 5: Foreman Charlie Garrett haven't been on the best of terms late.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Why not what Garrett got against him. You mean what
- 3:33Speaker 1: you mean.
- 3:34Speaker 5: I think Charlie's feelings were hurt when he found out
- 3:37Speaker 5: his boss was calling on an outside of her help, or.
- 3:39Speaker 1: So it seems.
- 3:40Speaker 4: I see why. And I hope those accidents were accidents,
- 3:44Speaker 4: mister Conway, because.
- 3:45Speaker 1: If they weren't, somebody has gone to hang or murder.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Now back to hop Along Cassidy and our story death
- 4:49Speaker 2: runs dry. A drought coupled with a series of my
- 5:00Speaker 2: serious accidents caused Jim Dodge to call on Happy for help.
- 5:04Speaker 2: After stopping on the sun baked town of Poker Rail
- 5:07Speaker 2: for a talk with Dodger's lawyer Sam Conway. Hoppy in California,
- 5:10Speaker 2: take the south park that leads to the rank Hernesian Hoppy.
- 5:15Speaker 3: We should have stuck to.
- 5:16Speaker 6: The wake and Praier, Like Conway said, this is the wildest,
- 5:19Speaker 6: loneliest country I've ever seen, or maybe wild.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Mister looks about rider and this way, I wouldn't say
- 5:24Speaker 1: it was lonely.
- 5:26Speaker 6: He's riding bareback and that long black hair looks like
- 5:30Speaker 6: an injured probably is in Dodge.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Jess then to help what he stopped.
- 5:37Speaker 4: When Friday we're trying to find the lazy delon Chowde.
- 5:41Speaker 6: It's five miles, but you find no one there.

- 18:49Speaker 6: Did you find Jose?
- 18:51Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 18:52Speaker 4: He's lying here hurt bed pretty bad. Not by the avalanche.
- 18:58Speaker 4: He's been shot. What Yeah, Jose musta caught the man
- 19:03Speaker 4: and the actor was setting off the glass the start
- 19:04Speaker 4: of the slide. Timely tried to stop him and shot
- 19:07Speaker 4: down Jose. Jose. Can you hear me?
- 19:12Speaker 1: Jose?

- 19:34Speaker 4: I been wrong twice already.
- 19:37Speaker 3: What Uh?
- 19:39Speaker 4: I figured it was Jose who killed Jim. Then my
- 19:42Speaker 4: letter I got this morning. I figured it was Sam
- 19:44Speaker 4: Conway who was behind all these accidents. But Conway was
- 19:48Speaker 4: right beside us when the avalanche was set out, so
- 19:51Speaker 4: he couldn't have been the one that leaves only one
- 19:53Speaker 4: Hoppy Charlie Garrett.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Dad has a dozen witnesses the pool. He was working
- 19:59Speaker 4: on the band below on that last start of the avalanche.
- 20:02Speaker 4: All there are a few things that still need explaining. Yeah,
- 20:05Speaker 4: I reckon, I'm gonna have to go around to a
- 20:07Speaker 4: few blacksmith shops tomorrow ask a few questions. Come on California,
- 20:11Speaker 4: help me get Jose down from.
- 20:13Speaker 11: Here, Hoppy, that was about the furthest thing I've ever
- 20:27Speaker 11: seen anybody do going after that poor man.
- 20:31Speaker 5: Frankly, I think there must be a madman loose, a
- 20:33Speaker 5: homicidal maniac.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Uh could be a right, mister Conway. First those cowboy
- 20:38Speaker 4: getting killed with that's so called accident, and Jim Dodge

- 21:55Speaker 4: of that black stuff oozing out. Only I haven't got

- 24:48Speaker 1: Live and learn, Cassidy, mighty brave?
- 24:50Speaker 4: Aren't you to murder an old man who trusted you?

- 25:39Speaker 4: mention your horse was in the blacksmith shop. Remember well,
- 25:42Speaker 4: I found that blacksmith, Conway. He says he had to
- 25:44Speaker 4: put on a full set of shoes to replace the
- 25:46Speaker 4: ones you pulled off.
- 25:48Speaker 3: He's lying.
- 25:49Speaker 4: I can explain this, can you? And maybe you can
- 25:51Speaker 4: explain those footprints you made when you scattered around to
- 25:54Speaker 4: make sure nobody saw your shoes. Dodge tells that faster
- 25:57Speaker 4: Paris imprint from the saddle bag California.
