Synopsis
The infamous and historic landmark, the Hanging Dummy-an image of a prospector carved from wood-swings from a rope over a Flat Skunk gold-mining shop, in effigy for all the poor hanged souls of the mining years. But it's suddenly lost an ear. Connor's Westphal's roller-coaster is about to pick up speed with a whole new set of distractions-the appendage turns out to be human.
