Mulford’s last Hopalong Cassidy book. The crime in question? The robbery of a train. The culprits have taken the loot and fled over a shallow river separating Texas from neighboring Oklahoma Territory. This jurisdictional head-scratcher requires a clever lawman like Hoppy to unravel it. The sheriff and his deputies cannot follow the bandits into Oklahoma because it is void of legal structure; it’s ungoverned. A lawman without the law would be ineffectual. At the same time, Hoppy reasons, if the bandits were apprehended by Texas lawmen operating outside of Texas, a legal quagmire between competing sovereigns would certainly result. How does Hoppy serve his writ?
