Tom Mix Comics #6

Tom Mix investigates a mysterious moving telescope on Gaunt Mountain after discovering it hidden near the prairie, while saboteurs threaten the vital Causeway Dam with bombs and a deadly weapon. With his companions Pecos and Wash battling through booby traps and gun emplacements, Tom races to uncover the "Cobra's" lair and stop the sabotage before America's defense factories fall to disaster.

Daniel Boone was born a natural woodsman in Pennsylvania, and his fearless skill with a rifle and uncanny survival instincts made him a legend of the frontier—from outshooting panthers as a boy to exploring the wilds of Kentucky and opening them for settlement. His tales of resourcefulness became the stuff of frontier lore: bluffing attackers with tobacco smoke, escaping war parties on a vine, and enduring capture and torment with the courage that even earned him adoption by the great chief Black Fish. When Boone learned of a planned massacre against his Boonesborough settlement, his desperate flight across 160 miles in four days on a single meal proved why he embodied the dauntless spirit that carved a nation from the wilderness.

Tom Mix and his pal Pecos help Jane and Wash escape a trap set by Trigger Dawson's outlaw gang, with Jane turning Chief War Eagle's gift—a harmless blow-gun with sticky darts—into a clever weapon to signal for help. When the gang mistakes the darts for ghostly attacks, Tom and Pecos seize the chance to round up the outlaws and haul them off to jail.
