Tom Mix Western #31

"Indian Trouble," a Fightin' Forbes yarn by Walter Farmer, follows newspaper editor Fightin' Forbes as he becomes embroiled in a conflict at the Imperial Grain, Feed and Notions Store when rancher Chilli Mead arrives with a flint-tipped arrow, accusing Forbes of inciting trouble between the whites and Chief Eaglehead's tribe. After Forbes and Chilli exchange heated words and blows, Forbes is knocked down but quickly retaliates, eventually overpowering Chilli and forcing him to acknowledge Forbes's innocence in the cattle raids plaguing the X-7 ranch. The story also features Tom Mix pursuing an outlaw named Benton through desert terrain, ultimately capturing him with the help of a posse after a chase through the hills.
