Now as gunshots echo across the wind swept, snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker puff wheat and Quaker puff rice, the breakfast cereal shot from guns, is that the challenge of the Yukon? It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the northwest mounted police

in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Unking! Unking! Gold. Gold is covered in a Yukon. A stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches. Back to the days of the Gold Rush.

With the opening of the summer months in the Yukon, much had happened in the vicinity of Fort River, a settlement not far from Selkirk. The Franklin gang had become a byword amongst the the prospectors, and Kirk Franklin, the leader of the gang, was feared because of his brazen way of taking what he wanted, and because of the ruthless manner in which he dealt with

those who might stand in his way. First he and his gang robbed the bank in Fort River in broad daylight. Reach everybody. There's a hold up. Hold up. You can't come in here. Shut up.

You go. Hey. Now if anybody else wants to object, speak up. The next one, I'll get a bullet. All right. A couple of you go get the gold while we keep these men quiet. Right Kirk.
