BEAR PAW

Thrilling combats and romance abound in this drama of the cattle country by one of America's best-loved Western writers. Dane Coolidge once said he gathered his material by "sitting around the fire with his mouth shut," listening, while other men talked. And here is a tale which proves his acknowledged ability to write from real life--a novel replete with all the flavor of the fireside legend of the exciting American West. . . .

Old "Bear Paw," a powerful ranch owner, has aroused the animosity of the other cattlemen in the Mexican border country by refusing to allow them to run their herds into his property for watering. Bitterest of his adversaries is Grif Lockhart, black-hearted and evil. His second wife is the beautiful but unhappy Salome, uneasily concerned about the fate of the first Mrs. Lockhart. Hope comes for Salome, however, in the person of the young and dashing American, Mark Trumbull, once a member of Pancho Villa's army.

In the swift procession of events, typical of Coolidge Westerns, a spectacular rustler's battle provides the thrilling climax.
