Po-ko's face was like a thundercloud as she watched Little Beaver hitch their two ponies to the wagon tongue.

Genre

western-frontier

Characters

Little Beaver (Navajo youngster); Po-ko (Navajo youngster); cavvy; Red Ryder (rancher friend); Thunder (his horse); two rustlers

Synopsis

Po-ko's angry that Little Beaver traded a watch for a makeshift wagon. In Whoop-up Canyon, Beaver sees a dust cloud over the hill knowing it's rustlers. He knows the tracks of six of Red's horses. Red arrives and they follow him. Two rustlers hide in an empty Navajo hut, shooting. Red has 'em pinned but can't advance. The "small brown" youngster drives the ponies pulling the "'wagon'" up to the mesa top, launches three wheels at the badmen, destroys the hut. Red binds them, promises Beaver a better wagon from his ranch than his would ever be. Little Beaver brags he's a good trader.

Genre

western-frontier; children

Characters

Sandy Rivers (Kiyotee); Ted Lucas (Kiyotee); Billy Haynes (Kiyotee); Chet Stevens (newsman); Clink (Selden outlaw); Silk Selden (outlaw leader); "Dobie" Wall (Selden outlaw); Gib Dawson (Selden outlaw); Dr. John Rivers; Mrs. Rivers

Synopsis

The Kids warn Chet that outlaw Selden will react with violence to Chet's article lambasting Selden. They set a burglar alarm in the news office triggered by opening the door wide. That night, Selden, "Dobie," and Gib use a ladder to the back alley window and snatch Chet from his bedroom above the print shop. Sandy's idea: send a note with Chet's key tasking her dad to run the paper in Chet's absence. Ted's idea: masquerade as an Apache collecting maguey sap in Crowfoot Canyon, find Chet. Sandy realizes the note didn't warn her dad about the burglar trap.
