'Breakfast ready!' called Po-ko as she moved the hot corn bread away from the coals.

Genre

western-frontier

Characters

Po-ko; Little Beaver; sheep; Red Ryder; Thunder (his horse); the kids' ponies; three outlaws

Synopsis

Bandits robbed Jimson's Trading Post of all it's money, robbed four Navajos, took all their jewelry they had in hock there. They escaped into Turkey Tracks Canyons. LB and Po-ko ride out to a hidden cliff dwelling he knows of there, where they find the robbers hiding out. They sneak in while the bandits are asleep, recover all the stolen property, then LB makes a life-like dummy of a bandit with an arrow in its heart, and scalped. The outlaws waken with a wild yell, and high-tail it to out-of-state, aided by two blunt arrows from LB's quiver.

At the edge of Alkali town, Silk Selden's gang gets their signal---the blast that wrecks the 'News' building.

Genre

western-frontier; children

Characters

Silk Selden's gang; Silk Selden; a vigilante; Harry Haynes; Ben Lucas; Sam; Ted Lucas; Billy Haynes; Doc Rivers; Sandy Rivers; Chet Stevens

Synopsis

The townspeople's vigilantes defend Alkali town against the invading gang. Selden calls retreat, declaring he'll be back. Sandy and her dad are rescued from the wreck of the 'News' building. Sandy comes up with the idea that the Kiyotees must get gold from where Billy discovered it earlier in Crowfoot Canyon, to buy Chet a replacement for the wrecked printing press, to ensure publicity to show the people of the county that they've got to wipe out Robbers' Roost. They head out and find the paydirt, careful to hide from the outlaws.
