☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains multiple Western stories featuring frontier lawmen and outlaws. "The Trouble at Coyote Canyon" follows Marshal Wyatt Earp as he takes over the formerly peaceful town of Coyote Canyon, which has become a haven for desperados, and confronts gunfighters terrorizing the settlement. "Pawnee Bill and the Murderous Apaches" depicts Pawnee Bill defending against a band of Apaches while protecting a woman named Susannah, with assistance from a cavalry patrol from Fort Hanley. A third story involving Bat Masterson depicts him investigating gold shipment holdups and confronting bandits at the Roaring Gulch Bar, where a stranger causes trouble in town.
Pawnee Bill, a fearless white scout fluent in Indian tongues, rises from a youth defending himself in the Bloomington woods to become blood brother to the Pawnee nation and ultimately chief of their cavalry scouts. When a Cheyenne war party massacres a regiment at Deep River and takes Captain Debbs hostage, Pawnee devises a daring plan to infiltrate the enemy camp in disguise and extract the officer—but escape means navigating between hostile tribes bent on his destruction. With the army's help, Pawnee executes a cunning scheme that turns Sioux and Cheyenne against each other, testing whether his wits and courage can outmatch the warriors closing in on him and the captain.
When Wyatt Earp arrives in Coyote Canyon to take the marshal's job, he finds a town plagued by gunmen and desperate outlaws—six previous marshals have already fallen to the same ruthless violence. Earp moves swiftly to restore order, disarming troublemakers and uncovering a sinister scheme involving counterfeit bills and a banker who's been orchestrating the chaos to drive honest townspeople out and seize their land. As the true culprits are exposed, the marshal must stand against overwhelming odds to reclaim Coyote Canyon from the criminals who've made it their hunting ground.
When a trader's wagon falls under Apache attack in the territory, a cavalry patrol rushes to help—only to discover the whole thing was an elaborate trap orchestrated by the treacherous Blackie Creel and the Apache leader Little Dog to lure soldiers to their slaughter. Pawnee Bill, the famed chief of the Pawnee Scouts, must track down the conspirators into the heart of Apache territory, outwit his captors, and turn the tables on an enemy that vastly outnumbers him. With cunning, quick thinking, and a little help from his scouts, Pawnee fights to stop the raids and bring the murderous Apaches to justice.
