Blackleg Bullets

Blackleg, that scourge so feared by all cattlemen, had struck the Beavertail Basin range and the little ranchers, who were unprepared because such an epidemic had never before hit that part of Montana, turned to Dr. Del Avery for the vaccine that might save their cattle.

But the big rancher Sam Young·, who had taken precautions to protect his own stock, saw in the catastrophe a way of running his rival out of the country. So, aided by his gunman Will Tyler, he wrecked Del’s laboratory, destroyed his textbook , and followed that up by fisticuffs, gunplay and

dynamite. And while men fought and suffered because of human wickedness and human greed, the poor dumb animals—innocent and helpless pawns in the struggle-died by the herds.
