☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories. "Range Busters" features Ben Thompson, the fastest gunfighter in Kansas, who challenges Wyatt Earp to a showdown at the Well Fargo office, but Earp outdraw and arrests him. "The Miracle at Drover's Pass" involves Karl Evers, a railroad man who brings the railroad to Drover's Pass and earns the town's celebration, though locals suspect his true motives involve taking property cheaply from residents. In the second story, Hiram Judson proposes to Edna Hart and must retrieve a mortgage payment from a stagecoach, but is robbed by a bandit; Wyatt Earp pursues and recovers the money, allowing Judson to save his farm and marry Edna.
When a buffalo hunter named Wyatt Earp rolls into the wild cattle town of Ellsworth, Kansas, he witnesses the Thompson brothers—two of the fastest guns in the West—terrorizing the townspeople and running crooked card games with impunity. After Bill Thompson guns down a local resident in a fit of rage, the desperate mayor offers Earp the marshal's badge, and the quiet stranger accepts the job and straps on guns for the first time. Now Earp must face down the Thompsons and their gang to bring order to one of the rowdiest towns on the frontier.
When a money dispute between two ranchers threatens to escalate into violence, Wyatt Earp stations an old-timer to keep the peace—but a scheme by the debtor Hapes to eliminate his creditor goes dangerously awry, leaving everyone confused about who fired the fatal shot. As suspicion falls on the wrong man and tempers flare, Wyatt must untangle the truth before more blood spills and an innocent person pays the price.
Karl Evers orchestrates a clever scheme to divert the railroad spur to Drover's Pass and ruin the rival town of Cato—but when the Range Busters discover his plan involves dynamite and sabotage to eliminate the competition, they work to expose his plot before it destroys both the train and his carefully laid trap. Wyatt Earp and his allies must outmaneuver Evers to ensure the railroad's safe passage and bring the schemer to justice.
When "Fate" Warren overhears a shady landman's scheme to force a widow into marriage by holding a mortgage on her oil-rich property, he decides to even the odds by intercepting the assayer's report—but his good deed quickly spirals into a desperate game where the widow faces danger from all sides. Warren must outrun posses and outsmart a villain who's determined to turn the tables and pin everything on him. With both their futures hanging in the balance, can Warren find a way to expose the truth before it's too late?
