The other two passengers are a young woman, Elizabeth King, and Jerry Hawley. Both are on their way to the Bar K Ranch, known as the Barking Dog. Elizabeth is the owner of the ranch, since the recent murder of her father by parties unknown. Parks, the ranch foreman, has asked aid of Jerry's father to stop the depreda- tions of a band of cow thieves who have been rustling Barking Dog stock, and Jerry has responded to this appeal. At Nugget City, Jerry confers with Tyson, the acting postmaster, whose father also has been mysteri- ously murdered. Tyson says that Virlee runs the town, controls the sheriff and county judge, and has riders over in the cow country, and that he wants to be a kind of a king. Jerry has a run-in with Virlee, whom he suspects is back of the cattle raids. Tyson and his wife, and Elizabeth and Jerry then leave for the Barking Dog. While they are on the way to Comicbooks..com
