Summary: "Mystery Ranch" by Arthur Chapman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds within an Indian reservation context, centering on Walter Lowell, an Indian agent, amidst a murder mystery that poses threats to both Indians and white settlers. The narrative sets up an intriguing conflict between cultures and the expectations that come with them, entwined with the lives of characters like Plenty Buffalo, the Indian police chief, and the enigmatic Fire Bear, who leads a rebellious faction among the young Indians. The opening of the narrative introduces the urgent situation of a murder discovered on the edge of the reservation, caught in a web of racial suspicion and prejudice. As Walter Lowell receives the distressing news from Plenty Buffalo about the murder victim, he faces the impending turmoil that can erupt from the incident—especially with the added complexity of local fears regarding the Native American population. Various characters are presented, including the white sheriff advocating for justice and the trader Talpers, who has his own dubious motives. This inciting moment sets forth a cascade of events that bring tensions between the cultures to the forefront, raising questions about justice, identity, and the harsh realities of life on the frontier.
