The Texan #5

The main story, "Mystery Bustlers of the Rio Grande," follows a man and woman (Belle and Hank) as they become embroiled in a scheme involving mineral rights and water claims on a ranch. When Belle tries to force the protagonist into signing away his ranch mineral rights, he resists, leading to a series of confrontations. The narrative expands to include a Texas Ranger and other characters caught up in a cattle rustling operation, with Blackie Raff attempting to steal beef shipments for the railroad while Linda Hale pursues the rustlers across the desert landscape, ultimately tracking the culprits back to their hideout by a stream.
