Then Came Mulvane
by William Heuman
About twenty nester families were camped in a grove south of Rawdon - all set to spread out into the neighboring valleys. The cattlemen knew if the nesters were allowed to move onto their ranges, more would come, and it would spell the end of their way of life. So the Cattleman's Association sent for Mulvane. He rode into town late on a rainy afternoon, alone, a tall, lean man with a smile on his lips and the chill of death in his eyes. Even in his first meeting with the Cattleman's Association, Mulvane sensed that this would not be his typical job. For the first time he'd have to deal with a woman member of one of these Associations and he wasn't too sure he was going to like it. Also, one of the ranchers, Ward Bryant, made no attempt to conceal the dislike in his eyes, and Mulvane realized that sooner or later, even though they were on the same side, he would have to cross with this man.
