Editor inferred from page 281, Michael Barrier's "Funnybooks" (UC Press, Oakland, 2015): "[Lebeck] was still working for Western in March 1951 ... but he left sometime soon after that. ... His successor, George Brenner, ... held the job only briefly before his death in March 1952. He was succeeded by Matthew H. Murphy."

Disclose Notes: The artwork here is identical to Jon Small's signed stories in this series, Four Color #290, The Chief #2, and Indian Chief #3. The best clue is the heavy inking, and the close up faces, especially of the chiefs, with many thin inklines along the cheekbones and upper lip. Also the scenery, and movement of the figures are similar.
