KANSAS

THE DRIVE TO FINISH THE FIRST CONNECTING RR TRACK IS ON WITH THE ULTIMATE EGOAL TO BE IN ST LOUIS TO WATCH THE TWO LINES CONNECT. THE L.J. HARDING CO. FROM DENVER IS PUSHING EAST THROUGH KANSAS, WHILE THEIR RIVAL AXEL CVORP OUT OF HOUSTON TEXAS IS PRESSING UP THROUGH OKLAHOMA. SEPARATED BY LESS THAN A DAYS RIDE BY HORSEBACK THE TWO RIVALS PRESS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO ONE ANOTHER. AT THE SAME TIME THEY CROSS INTO INDIAN COUNTRY.
