Challenge of the Yukon: Zeb

The challenge of the Yukon. The King! Punny, you husky! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow, for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the challenge of the Yukon.

Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest Mounted Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge and justice ruled triumphant.

Inspector Colson of the Northwest Mounted Police looked approvingly at the tall, broad-shouldered sergeant who entered his office, followed by a large husky. The dog stayed close at the moutiest heels and stopped beside him when the inspector spoke.

Good morning, sir. Good morning, sir. You returned soon when you expected, didn't you? Yes, sir. I got in a criminal, but one I didn't go after. This, this name is a murder. And it tipped the kiddo, is that right?

Yes, sir. But in my opinion, he's insane. I think his mind cracked due to his age and the hard life he lived in the wilderness. Pull up a chair and sit down, Preston. I'd like to hear the keys from the beginning.

Yes, sir. Why don't you? It, uh, wasn't just coincidence that I went up to Matt Clemens' cabin. He'd asked me to stop by on my way north. I met him in Jean de Prey's trading post about two weeks ago buying supplies.

Matt, as you know, was an old sourdough. I'd known him for years. He lived about 20 miles north of the over-the-partners at Branken. Who's Matt older than his partner? They were all that may have been a little younger, known in his late sixties.
