Roper's bid to break Tanner falters as border war collapses
Bill Roper expands eleven ranch outfits to undermine Cleve Tanner with Thorpe's cash and a gunfighter fleet. But February to May brings border attacks, vanished funds, and mounting losses as Harnish, Long, and others quit. Dry Camp Pierce admits defeat as Tanner's hold tightens and Roper faces total failure.
