Desert Dust continues with a gambler’s tale and a hard choice
A distressed narrator recounts encounters in a boomtown involving Montoya the Monte, a femme fatale named Beeson, and a plan to join Jenk’s wagon train. He rejects a dangerous entanglement, accepts a rough yet hopeful offer from a bull-trainer, and meets Captain Adams’s frontier camp where breakfast awaits as the journey begins.

The Gumps Help Police Scene in Benton 1923
A 1923 Atlanta papercut recounts a Benton visit where a stranger travels with Mormon settlers toward Zion. Tension rises over railroad plans as Captain Brigham Young’s group asserts faith and unity against outsiders while Daniel, his stern son, observes the traveler. Rachael, the captain’s daughter, draws the narrator’s wary attention as polygamy rumors simmer.
