Jumping an Oil Claim War Over a Frontier Well

The tale centers on Henderson and Deering in a disputed oil venture on the frontier. Deering persuades men to defend the claim with a steam-driven bore and protective earthworks after a hostile party arrives seeking the title. Steam, shots, and a brutal defense follow, with Deering narrowly preserving the operation and Henderson’s daughter Margaret cited in the outcome.
