THE LONE OLD TIMER 24

it was just getting daylite when wes headed out to inspect some cattle over in apache pass. itn was a bit out of the way but he took treasure road. he couldnt justify it but something there wasnt right and he felt a need to keep watch on it. as he passed a drive way to a property that was fenced with a ten foot chail link fence a dirt bike roared out of the drive way cutting him off and causeing him to slam on his breaks. the bike riders shirt tail was flying in the wind as he roared away. " damn fool!"wes grumbled. then as he started to pick up speed he realized he was close to the spot where a bike rider had disapeared. he backed his truck and looked down the dirt drive way. the compound the chain link encircled was a jungle of trees.. but he could see a couple of buildings.as a state brand inspecter he could go on any property while inveestigating a livestock problem. but he didnt know how far he could streetch it. all he had was a suspision when it came to that property. he didnt see any livestock behind the chain link. he would talk to the state attorny generals office for some direction. he headed on to his inspection at apache pass.
