Jimmie Dodds recounts Norcross sudden exit from Pioneer Short Line amid a bid by Hatch and the Red Tower group to seize control. Norcross’s disappearance follows threats and a swirl of telegrams, with suspicions of foul play and a looming reorganizing move as Grimmer’s detective work distances the case from conclusive proof. The Mountaineer editor Cantrell hints at political manipulation backing the crisis, urging swift independent investigation.
