Western Crime Busters #7

This anthology issue features multiple Western stories. "The Owlhoot Trail" by Bill Zeller chronicles Fighting Bob Dale's clash with ranch owner Joel Hatton, whose violent temper leads him to accuse his cowhands of theft and makes enemies; Bob's daughter Faith attempts to calm her father's rage. Another story involves cattle rustling when the Mackey brothers steal beef from ranchers, prompting Sam to examine a slain cow's hide while Len Mackey drives off with the stolen goods, and Sonora discusses the incident with Wilma before the suspects arrive at a barn dance where the tension builds among the guests.
