IN BRIEF: Ed Larros, the Indian deputy (and ex-con) in Willow Creek, is missing, suspected of being involved in a series of holdups. Riding into town, Hoppy stops Bart Benson from beating his horse. He tussles with Benson's man Jed. Sheriff Parker says the town is a powder keg. Larros, whose arm is in a cast after being shot, is a crook, he believes. Larros' girlfriend is a waitress at the cafe. Hoppy asks Doc about how to make a cast. He sees Jed order liverwurst sandwiches on bread, no mustard and pile on the pickles -- just what the deputy usually orders. Getting Benson into a penny toss contest, Hoppy sees the man favor one arm. A posse goes out in search of Larros, but Hoppy and California circle back. Benton's horse proves Hoppy's case; its tail has been trimmed, the horsehair used to mix with adobe to make a fake cast which Benson wore when he pretended to be Larros during the robberies. Benson is usually a dead shot in penny pitching, but his arm's stiff from wearing the cast. (Swart)
