Texas Rangers in Action #40

This issue contains two stories. In the first tale, a mysterious figure of unclear origin—neither fully cowboy nor Indian—is hired by a man named Costain to start an Indian war at a burial ground and steal gold from a mine, but a Texas Ranger intervenes to stop the plot and expose Costain's treachery. In the second story, "Texas Rangers in Action," the Rangers pursue Black Hawk, a Sioux leader, after he ambushes and kills a miner named Foster; the Rangers attack a stage station, defeat the Sioux in battle with support from an Apache chief, and capture Black Hawk.
