"He's the owner of this ranch, and all the different brands that are used here are recorded in his name. I understand that he isn't the type to let someone else boss anything he owns."
Wallie mused for a moment. "But Bryant ain't—" He didn't finish his remark.
"Wasn't it Bryant himself who helped your brother escape from jail last night in Red Oak?"
"Why should he?" argued the other. "He's the one that turned Mort over to the law."
"He turned him over to the law, because Mort was a murderer and Yuma knew it. That act on Bryant's part would remove him from suspicion. Yet someone helped Mort escape!"
Wallie said, "All this is sure surprisin' news to me, stranger. I don't know just what to think about it."
"I'm telling you," continued the Lone Ranger, "so you can be ready to tell anything you know when the law men come."
"Law men?"
"Yuma is bringing them. He's also bringing a warrant for the arrest of Bryant Cavendish."
