Major Story Arcs

On his Bar-O Ranch, Judge Rawson meets Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd. Despite their claims of cowboy-manship, the judge sees through their ruse and kicks them off his ranch. He then takes some of the gang out to switch brands on some cattle. As they begin working, the men hear a clicking noise. They see and Charlie snapping pictures of their misdeeds and the Judge orders his men to capture Charlie. Coyote Kane does so and ties them to a tree. He and the judge, however, get run off by Mortimer’s cow Bessie and Charlie’s evidence is given to the federal marshall. The judge and his gang are placed in prison to await trial.
