Blazing Sixguns #11
"Trouble at Bar H!" depicts a confrontation at Jeff Delaney's Bar H ranch where multiple ranch owners gather to discuss the "nester" problem—Eastern farmers with valid land grants settling on cattle country. Jeff Delaney refuses to violently drive them off, maintaining that the land legally belongs to them, while Pete Morgan and others argue for armed action. A lonely old hermit named Matilda becomes an unexpected intermediary, revealing a talking horse and mediating between the conflicting groups. The story concludes with confusion and romantic entanglement as a woman named Lucy and a character called the Rider work to resolve the dispute peacefully.
