The Blue Coyote Cherry Crop (1914)
When old man Baker died, leaving his daughter, Cherry, in an eastern hoarding school, the boys about Copperas City promised to look out for the girl. Because they knew that Dave Baker's girl would not permit herself to be supported by charity, they accordingly informed her that her father's death had left her in the possession of a certain amount of stock in the Blue Coyote Mine, the dividends of which would be sent to her in the regular order of affairs. Then a collection was taken up under the auspices of Jack Somers, and the resulting sum was sent to Cherry Baker in the guise of a dividend. This was all very well at the time, because it had been a prosperous year, and the miners were in a "flush" condition, but a year or so later affairs were not in such good condition. When he attempted to raise the money for the "dividend," Jack discovered that the boys were utterly unable to raise anywhere near the customary amount. So, after he had stripped himself of a considerable portion of his possessions. Jack was obliged to write and tell Cherry that the Blue Coyote had been obliged to reduce its dividend. At the same time she received Jack's letter. Cherry was very much attached to a young man named Choate. When she told Choate about the Blue Coyote that estimable young man became immediately suspicious, and suggested that they go west and investigate matters. When they arrived in the west, Choate's deepest suspicions seemed realized by the curious fact that Jack Somers seemed to be the only man who knew anything about the Blue Coyote Mine. When Choate discovered that Jack had been selling his own personal property, it seemed to him certain proof that the man was preparing for an immediate getaway. So he ordered his arrest. When Cherry learned exactly how much the miners and Jack, in particular, had done for her, she decided that Jack was nearer her ideal man than Mr. Choate.
