Buzzard's Roost
by W. F. BraggGalloping Jack Johnson had spent most of his life around cattle, and he was looking forward to getting into the high country near Eagle River and to associating solely with trout for a couple of weeks. To carry his pack he rented a mule, which somehow escaped and stampeded a herd of cattle. That brought the wrath of big Mort Hooker of the Flag Six spread on the vacationing waddy, and once he had helped round up the cows Jack had to stop to fight Mort. That led to an even more horrendous experience at a goose ranch, where Jack became an unwilling goose herder. By the time he had finished that ordeal, he'd become practically a local citizen, and knew all about the mysterious badman who holed up in the Buzzard's Roost. So he figured he might as well stay on awhile longer and buy into the trouble too.
