Ranchers have been having trouble with outlaws and Jimmy has been sent to investigate. When a rancher is murdered the culpit is jailed but the only witness is killed before the hearing in what is claimed to be an accident. When a rancher is framed for murder, Jimmy uses the same tactic and kidnaps the only witness. But the outlaws say that if their witness does not appear they will kill the rancher when he is released.—Maurice VanAuken <[email protected]>
