Rocky Lane's Black Jack #30

Rocky Lane discovers that a family has settled in a valley near his ranch, including a young boy who befriends Black Jack. When the boy's father decides to move the family away, Rocky allows them to stay, and the boy remains with Black Jack as his companion. Later, Black Jack encounters a wild stallion and an Apache chief named Mandino, who has been tracking the stallion to reclaim it as his own; Black Jack helps Mandino recover the horse, earning the chief's gratitude. Rocky's nemesis Lane becomes involved in a scheme with outlaws planning an ambush, but Black Jack's tracking abilities and Rocky's intervention thwart the gang's plans.
