Summary
Set in Piperock, Montana, this western short story follows Ike Harper as he watches the town’s familiar figures: Magpie Simpkins, sheriff; Judge Steele; and three odd men known as Mighty Jones, Dirty Shirt Jones, and Jewelry Jones. Their names and habits are sketched in comic detail, and the action centers on a letter addressed to A. C., which all three Joneses claim as theirs, sparking a dispute at Wick Smith’s store and post-office.
