Cheyenne Kid #36

The Cheyenne Kid escapes courtship and execution by the Army regulars by fleeing like a coward, though he stampedes after him. Inside Fort Brady, Colonel Wathen and scout Jim Morton devise a plan to end a Sioux siege: Morton will obtain explosives from Bozeman and use them to blow up a supply wagon to make the Indians think the fort is under attack, allowing them to escape. Morton succeeds in planting the explosives and reaching the river under cover of darkness. Blurehead, a Sioux war chief, agrees to a treaty with the Cheyenne Kid after learning the terms, and Commissioner Hook is satisfied with the peaceful settlement.
