In Nakaibito, where Teddy Milton had been killed while he was going to watch over his dying father, an old friend of the pards, Tex and Carson place a tombstone over the wicked slaughterers. In town, the rangers are eyed by the gambler, Flanagan, and the sheriff tells them an edifying little story: old Ralph Milton had disinherited his son, Ray – a hardened gambler and friend of his brother’s murderers – leaving his entire estate to Teddy. And Flanagan is an accomplice of the notary, Ferguson, a true wizard with codes, codicils and wills.
