Summary
Paladin receives a $500 deposit from Mayor James Ellis to prevent a range war between rival ranchers Marsh Jordan and Jack Sanders in Preston, Arizona. After defusing a tense standoff in a saloon, Paladin spends 24 hours organizing the smaller local ranchers into a powerful Stockman's Association. He returns to present the united group's strength, forcing the two rivals to join the association and settle their dispute through democratic means rather than violence.
