This issue of *Beadle and Adams' dime novel weekly* presents "Cool Sam's Girl Pard; or, Captain Dick and His Texans" by T. C. Harbaugh. The Western adventure opens on the Staked Plains when Captain Dick and his gang of six rough Texans—known as the Terrible Six—discover a stone inscription challenging them and warning them away from pursuing someone called "the Infant." The message is signed by Cool Sam and his partner. Incensed by the insult, the Six ride to the Mexican town of Bed-Rock (San Topeto), where they confront Cool Sam at a hotel. Cool Sam, a coolly competent gunman, faces them down with drawn revolvers, forcing the Texans to stand down. Captain Dick and his men withdraw temporarily but resolve to return at nightfall for revenge, employing the Mexican informant Carlo to gather intelligence. The narrative emphasizes gunplay, frontier honor codes, and mounting tension between the rival groups.
