Gunfighters, Thieves and Lawmen
Sully Wheeler doesn't
care why his cattle are disappearing. He doesn't care why but it has to stop.
Perhaps it's the cost of hiding from his past, but who would steal from a
one-time gunfighter?
The NW Mounted
Policeman that Sully contacted appeared more intent on stopping vigilante
action than in stopping theft. If that proves to be the case, Sully will
recover his own property, even if it takes gunfire to do it.
Who is this Mountie,
anyway? Is he a cop or something else entirely? Is he working to support the
crown, leave the crown or actually do something for the settlers?
And while we're talking
about that Mountie, isn't he spending too much time with that newspaper lady?
