About this item
The Hightower Ranch cowboys discovered a mummified man and his horse in a desert ca on near Springville, Arizona, both shot in the head. Ordinarily that should have been the end of it, since many a man riding the outlaw trail up out of Mexico didn t make it through that god-forsaken country, but near the body the cowboys had dug up a box that contained five bloodstained packets of $100 bills, amounting to $10,000. Who kills a man and leaves behind $10,000? Sheriff Claude Rainey locked the money in the only steel safe in Apache County while he waited to see if anyone would lay claim to it."
