Dead Man's Chest

It was nearing train time when Dan Reid, the fourteen year old nephew of the Lone Ranger, called at the depot in Skyline to send a telegram for the masked man. He found the dingy building deserted except for Hughey, the agent operator, and two roughly clad men who appeared to be asleep on the waiting room bench, their heads pillowed on bedrolls and their faces hidden by their arms. As Dan passed the message through the ticket window, a telegram message began to click. Hughey cocked an ear to listen - there's been a grizzly seen in the area, and a famous hunter is coming to hunt and collect his prize. But the old trapper, Hamlet Jones, was the one carrying a real treasure with him, in a chest. The first edition works of Shakespeare!
