Golden Arrow Western #6

Golden Arrow helps a group of prospectors stand up to trouble, and when the dust settles, he hands over his sheriff's badge to a new lawman. Weeks later, Golden Arrow returns to find the town transformed—so peaceful and orderly that he jokes it's become a place where even a woman could keep the peace, only to discover that a woman has indeed taken the sheriff's job.

A sleepy farmer struggles to recall what kept him up all night, only to remember his original plan was to get some rest—but that's just the warm-up to this Golden Arrow Western collection. The real action kicks off when Pistol Packin' Pattie catches someone attempting arson and makes it clear he's headed for jail, one way or another. These quick-fire tales pack humor and gunslinging into Golden Arrow Western #6's pages.

When Daniel Boone Jr. takes refuge in a cave to escape Farmer Brown's wrath, he finds Whitey Whiskers already hiding there—from his landlady. To prove his superior hiding skills, Whitey regales his newfound companion with the tale of how he once eluded the Northwest Mounted Police in the north woods, outsmarting an entire pursuit with nothing but his wits and a cleverly carved totem pole. But as Whitey boasts about his legendary ability to disappear, his landlady tracks him down regardless, proving that no hiding place is safe from a determined creditor.

When the telegraph arrives in frontier Gulchville, it becomes a lifeline—until outlaw Blacky Dorgan realizes the new invention is spoiling his gold-train robberies by spreading word of his raids faster than his escape. Determined to silence the wires and claim an undefended shipment, Dorgan sets a trap that forces Golden Arrow into a desperate race against time to restore the telegraph and warn the next town. This 1947 tale pits the West's most ingenious hero and his faithful steed White Wind against bandits who've learned to fear not just the law, but the unstoppable march of progress itself.
