[CHARACTERS THAT APPEAR IN THIS STORY.]
Matt King, concerning whom there has always been a mystery—a lad of splendid athletic abilities, and never-failing nerve, who has won for himself, among the boys of the Western town, the popular name of "Mile-a-minute Matt."
Carl Pretzel, a cheerful and rollicking German lad, who is led by a fortunate accident to hook up with Motor Matt in double harness.
James Q. Tomlinson, the jeweler from Denver, who seems to have troubles of his own, and about whose identity there is more or less confusion.
Trymore,
Hank,
Spangler,} a trio of sporting gentlemen who believe in hunting big game, and who consider themselves experts in the line of choice gems. Pringle, once honest Carl's pardner in vaudeville, but latterly engaged in a far less honorable business.
Gregory, a chauffeur.
Hop Loo,
Charley Sing,} the two eccentric laundrymen of Ash Fork.
