Pages: 14

Notes: The Jaimito reprint needs to be confirmed, but this story continues directly from 'In Santa Fe' and is two seven-page episodes merged together. Page eight recaps what has occurred on the previous pages and has space where a story title and logo have probably been removed.

Pages five and six of this reprint are in reverse order. The Mohave Indian's name changes from Strong Rain to Heavy Rain between each part of the story. Other episodes of this series translate Juan's companion's name as Archimedes.
