Western Comics Pow Wow Smith

There were two Pow Wow Smith's running around at DC.  The first was the sheriff in Detective Comics, but later, DC introduced his ancestor, Ohiyesa "Pow-Wow" Smith, who fought criminals in the wild west of the 19th Century (and starting in Western Comics #44 (March-April, 1954)), with the 20th Century having one adventure in Western Comics #43 (January-February, 1954).
