Hughes and Hughes in Desert Camp Confrontation
Sergeant Hamlin corners Jed Hughes in a desert shack after a suspected shootout. Hughes recounts his cattle stolen by Gene Le Fevre and Koleta, the Cheyenne war party, and reveals Le Fevre’s plan to move a captive woman to the Cheyennes winter camp on the Canadian, Black Kettle’s outfit. The tale links Le Fevre to the raid and the missing girl’s fate.
