| Summary | "Broadcast" by Will H. Grattan is a suspenseful short story that appeared in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. The narrative centers around themes of deception, survival, and unexpected loyalty in the face of crime discovery. It evokes the adventurous spirit of the American West, particularly the mining culture of the time. The story follows Joe Teagler, a prospector who has struck gold but unintentionally finds himself in a perilous situation when a notorious fugitive, “Snapper” Kirk, arrives at his remote cabin. After enjoying lunch with Teagler, Kirk reveals his criminal intentions, holding Teagler at gunpoint and demanding to know about a hidden treasure. Through clever maneuvering, Teagler manages to turn the tables, using both wits and a pre-planned strategy to escape the dire threat posed by Kirk. The tale culminates in an intense confrontation that highlights Teagler's quick thinking and the surprising bonds between past acquaintances, revealing dimensions of loyalty and redemption.
