Longarm #293: Longarm and the Poisoners

Longarm didn't have his heart in this assignment,nor did Billy Vail think it was a worthwhile endeavor;but that all aside,sometimes Lawmen don't always make those decisions. So,Longarm heads out to see if there is a range war brewing between some sheepmen and farmers.Suspicions have arisen over some unusual deaths of relatively healthy men. He finds Weirville a town devided, and no love lost between factions;but none of the locals think there is anything wrong.Longarm spends sometime trying to get the dope on what is going on,meets up with some interesting characters;but it really isn't till someone takes a shot at him ,that he knows he is onto something. It is a fairly good storyline but a little too roundabout without much fast-action,and winds up rather uneventually in the last few pages. There have been both worse and better episodes in this series.
