The Silver Grave

Summary A writer of westerns named Sinclair Mason comes to town attempting to learn more about the notorious Lowery gang, which robbed and terrorized the area many years ago. He says he will pay well for information that helps his stories.

The sheriff and his deputy suggest he speak with Granny Wilcox, who lived in these parts as a little girl and might recall stories about him. They note that she lives on a very limited income but won't accept charity, so payment for information might be appealing to her.

As it turns out, Granny knows a great deal about the Lowery Gang, because Boyd Lowery was her father and she has spent most of her life living down the scandal and living down the name. In her words, "the Lowery gang stopped at nothing: stage coaches, banks, anything that held money. Boyd Lowery was the worst of the lot, only a devil could have led those men. The more they took, the more they wanted."

One of the gang's most notorious crimes was a robbery in 1895 of the express train near Grover where they stole fifty thousand brand new silver dollars from the Denver Mint which have never been recovered. There was a lot of shooting and the guards were killed, and one gang member, who was buried in an unmarked grave along the trail. The others didn't get very far. Before sundown, the Posse found them and killed every one of them. "It was their due; an eye for an eye."

Sky and Penny then learn that the man claiming to be Sinclair Mason is an imposter and alert Granny that she should be careful if he comes snooping around.
