Mark Twain- A murder, mystery, and a marraige

John Gray is the father
Takes place in deer lick village in Missouri
It is a small town
Small farming community
Mary Gray is the daughter, Hue Gregory is a rich man that loves Mary
Dave Gray is the uncle that hates Hue because when Dave tried to steal Hue's fathers land, Hue prevented him from doing it.
Sarah/Sally Gray is the mother. Brother is Tom.
Hue proposed to Mary and everyone thought it was great because he was rich.
Dave left all his money to Mary.
John forbid Mary to marry Hue because it would just cause a bunch of problems.
One day John found a stranger named George Wayne in the prarie.
Later he admited that his real name is Count Hubert and his father is a Lord.
The count starts expressing an interest in Mary.
One day Dave is talking to the Count then Hue joins their conversation and Dave and Hue got into a fight and Dave threatens to write a new will leaving Mary nothing which isn't what Hue wants.
Dave is murdered and everyone thinks Hue did it because there was a scrap of his jacket, blood on his pants, and a bloody knife in his bed, and because of all the fighting between the 2 the odds are against Hue.
One of Counts friends get arrested and Count and Mary get married.
In the end Count only wanted Mary for the money, and his real name is Gean Mercier.
