Masked Raider #30

When crooked outlaws seize control of Riptown and rig a trial to frame innocent cattleman Jethro Suggs, lawyer Les Wilcox watches helplessly as a bribed judge and corrupt jury prepare to convict him no matter what the evidence shows. Realizing that courtroom procedure means nothing to lawbreakers, Wilcox abandons his books and becomes the Masked Raider, bringing a very different kind of justice—and his animal companions Talon and White Star—to settle the matter in the only language Riptown's criminals understand. In "Trial by Fury," the Masked Raider puts the town's corrupt officials on trial themselves.

When the Masked Raider rescues a woman from a runaway horse, he discovers she's Anne Durell—sister of a man he supposedly sent to prison—and she's set a clever trap to force him to confess. As the Masked Raider finds himself tied up and at the mercy of her brother's schemes, the arrival of Polly Garrett, the sheriff's daughter, turns the tables in unexpected ways. Will the truth about Len Durell's guilt finally come to light?

Jed Bolt, a Texas ranger, earns the town's scorn when he serves an eviction notice on widower Jared Landis—but the lawman's doing his job reluctantly, and soon discovers that the land's new owner, Robert Samter, may be hiding something sinister. When the ranger's investigation uncovers Samter's real interest in the supposedly worthless ore dump, Bolt sets out to prove Landis has a legitimate claim to his home and the valuable mineral beneath it.

When a giant mountain lion with a fearless streak terrorizes the frontier, the Masked Raider trades his usual crime-fighting for a dangerous hunt into the wild hills, tracking the deadly puma before it strikes again. But what begins as a straightforward pursuit becomes something far more complex when the Masked Raider discovers the truth behind the beast's scars—and learns that a ruthless professional hunter may be the real threat. Now he must confront both the animal and the man who has made it his obsession.
