Four Color #744

In "The Howling Cavern," the Navaho grow uneasy as their sheep vanish and eerie sounds echo from a nearby cavern, leading them to believe the land is cursed. When Little Beaver follows his dog into the forbidden ground, he stumbles upon two white men secretly orchestrating the fear to drive the tribe away.

In the dusty frontier town of Rimrock, a clever embezzler swaps identities with a murdered bank examiner, slipping into the role with ease—only for Little Beaver to stumble upon the truth and race to warn the bank president before the impostor takes control.

In "Three Black Sheep," Little Beaver’s playful interruption of a tribal council leads to an unexpected duty: guarding the tribe’s sheep while the others head to a sing on Spirit Mountain. Left alone, he soon finds himself trapped by two rustlers who steal the flock using wagons, setting off a tense chase across the frontier.
