The Secret Hand of Selby Smith

The San Francisco examiner wanted to take him down and send a reporter. But Selby charmed the reporter and convinced him he was a great man who respected the law. He gave a new reverend in town $200 and the Lomens widow a big wata cash. The town was overrun by stray dogs because people bought them to pull sleds but then abandoned them when they got there. And Selby demanded each household take in one dog.
