Now, from August 3, 1958, here is the Lucky 4 matter.

Girl, how are you? Great, great. Johnny, do you remember the Lucky 4 ranch? Well, if you're

talking about the one out in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado. That's the one I'm talking about.

Well, sure, that's where you and I and Ray, Ray, what's his name? Ray Smishney. Yeah, Ray Smishney, who owns the lucky for. You and he and I investigated the death of that concert pianist. That's right. Also, we had some real fine trout fishing up in an 11-mile canyon. Do you remember the little private lake up in the mountain back of Ray's Ranch? Cherry Lake? Yes, old Bill Cherry's Lake. Only it isn't there anymore. Oh, that's too bad. Old Bill isn't around anymore either. What's happened to him? According to all the information, he was killed when the dam broke and sent his firm house crashing down into the valley below. Oh, gee, that's too bad. I have the claim for his insurance, right here in my desk. I'll send a copy of the policy to you there at the lucky floor. Hey, wait a minute. Is something wrong, Earl? That's what I want you to find out. What makes you think something's wrong? A phone call I just got from Ray Shmishneyney said he's found a couple of things that make him think the breaching of that dam was no accident.

Okay, Earl, I'll grab the first plane I can.
