IN BRIEF: On their way back to the Bar-20, Hopalong and California stop at Rapid River for the night. Mills, the owner of the stage line, has been murdered. Munsey at the museum sends for Cassidy and says he's sorry he deciphered a map of treasure in Lost Canyon for Mills; he knew it would lead to trouble. A group of religious fanatics is said to live in the canyon, and likely killed Mills. The curator himself is killed by a falling ax and Hoppy and California are arrested. A blind man, Jake Peters, recognizes Hoppy by his walk and the jingle of his spurs, and they are released. A town character, Brick, blackmails the two cowboys, claiming he saw them kill the curator. Hoppy pays up. The men leave town and camp for the night. In the morning, Peters drags into camp and dies. Hopalong asks Mrs. Mills who's the richest man in those parts; it turns out to be the sheriff, who owns stock in a railroad. He killed Mills, who was interested in a new and shorter stage route through the canyon. (John Barkley).
