e e i Cl ‘. Trucman Rock is forced into a fight on the first day of his return to Wagontongue, the scene of much gunplay. He has met Thiry Preston at Sol Win- ter’s stare and carries her bund- les to the wagon for her. There Ash Preston, her brother, quar- rels with him. A ycunger bro- ther takes Ash’s gun away. Rock trips Ash, trying to avoid a bad fight, because he likes Thiry. He leaves the scene, annoyed not to have beaten up Ash, and goes back to sce Winter. He tells his friend of his sudden inter- ¢st in Thiry, and of Ash’s at- titude. Winter says that the Preston cutfit is well liked with the exception of Ash. He be- Heves that Ash killed his som, and it is also rumered that he &hot the sheriff. There is much complaint about cattle rustling, Winter says, and there have been sume dark hints about the Pres- tons., Chapter 6 A DEADLY PROPOSITION “Darn few hints, mind you, son, an’ sure vague an’ untrailable,” said Winter, “It might be owin’ to the slow: gettin’ rich of Gage Preston.
