Hopalong Cassidy #21

In "The Double Branding," Hopalong Cassidy is summoned by Major Wilkins to stop rustlers who have stolen army mules three times in a month, with the stolen stock being smuggled across the Mexican border at Twin River. Mesquite, a member of a secret "Law and Order Club," agrees to help prove himself worthy by meeting Cassidy and other club members at midnight, but the meeting is ambushed by wild redskins, leaving Mesquite surrounded. The issue also includes an educational feature titled "Home on the Range," which illustrates various aspects of cowboy life and equipment, including details about sombrero hats, gloves, boots, and handkerchiefs.
