History:

(Cowboy Action#11/1 (fb) - BTS) - Chance Drake set up a saloon in the tiny town of Vulture Valley, but hated the local Navajos with irrational intensity, banning them from his saloon.

(Cowboy Action#11/1) - The chief of a local Navajo tribe sent his son into the town to warn of an impending flood, but he was chased out at gunpoint by the maddened Drake. The saloon patrons kept mostly silent during Drake's rage. But the Navajo people refused to give up on the townsfolk and rode in just as the broken dam waters flooded, with Navajo riders carrying those they could. Chance Drake was the only casualty. The townsfolk resolved to build a stronger dam with help from the Navajos.
