<div style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" class=MsoNormal>Detective Smythe returns to unravel a new mystery, to which he has discovered a personal, historical connection. An uncle has passed away and knowing his fondness for reading a good detective novel every now and again, his uncle has left him piles and piles of books from his very extensive library. Discovered amongst the musty old books is a very old, tattered and worn journal. Detective Smythe thought he knew all about his family history but that was before he began reading the tattered pages. Amongst the scribbling, he finds that he has a long lost relative and a new mystery to solve; The Mysterious Case of the Mournful Cowboy. As Detective Smythe begins to unravel the past, he finds that Jeremiah Colton, owner of the Blessed Sky Ranch, is under attack by a sneaky, no-good, villain named Deek Darksole, the owner of Allismine Ranch. He’ll do anything and everything to make sure that Jeremiah Colton loses his ranch and more! Once again, he invites you, our guests, to delve into the past and discover for yourselves just who this mysterious cowboy might be!</div>
