Outlaws of the West #41

This issue contains two Western stories. "The Unwilling Sheriff" features Walt Phelan, a reluctant lawman who takes the job of sheriff to earn money, only to find himself forced into action when the Gordon Gang robs the Eldwood bank; Walt stops the robbery single-handedly, killing five gang members, and is subsequently pressured to remain as sheriff despite wanting to resign. "The Instigator" involves a man on horseback who claims to have gold and enlists the help of miners and vigilantes to search for buried treasure, leading to conflict over the promised riches.
