06:50The homesteaders have got to fight or get out.
06:53They need help.
06:54Whereabouts did you want me to take up this homestead?
06:57Twin Buttes, up north of here.
06:59When you get there, see Lam Watkins.
07:02Tell him that Bat Haynes sent you.
07:04He'll settle you on a homestead, and when the trouble is all over,
07:08he'll buy it back from you at a net profit.
07:11Well, I might give it a whirl.
07:15Good.
07:20The most important thing is to fence up your homesteads right away.
07:24Now, I'll put up the money, but you'll have to sign notes for it
07:27so as to make everything legal.
07:29Your claims wouldn't be worth a dime if anyone could prove collusion.
07:32I thought trains were the only things that had collusions.
07:36I'm not talking about collusion.
07:39Collusion means illegal cooperation.
07:42For instance, if I put up the money so you can file on a homestead,
07:45then turn it back over to me, that would be illegal.
07:48Al Peters winged one of Lawson's ponchers, and the sheriff arrested him.
07:52I'll see about that.
07:54Bart, you and Slim come with me.
07:56The rest of you boys wait here.
08:05All right, Tug, you sign this complaint charging Al Peters
08:08with the ornery and pernicious use of firearms.
08:11We should have hung that bastard.
08:14I like to do things according to law.
08:17I'm here to make sure of that.
08:19That wounded cowboy ignored a written warning against trespassing.
08:22I said in there, that bastard's been stealing my cattle.
08:25Can you prove that?
08:27I'm plumb satisfied in my own mind.
08:29That does not satisfy the law.
08:31Don't you try to twist the law with any legal shenanigans.
08:34Them bastards have been coming in like a swarm of grasshoppers.
08:37They seem to think that they can lay their hands on us.
08:40I'm not going to let them.
08:42You cattlemen think you're the lords of creation.
08:45It's time someone took you down a peg.
08:47We're within our legal rights, and you'll put up with it and like it.
08:50Damn, don't act like that.
08:54That's right, Tug. You better go on home and let me handle this.
08:57You're on my two rambunctious for a sane discussion of the law.
09:00Well, you saw him hit me. Why don't you arrest him?
09:03I never heard of arresting anyone just for hitting a man with his fist.
09:06I'm not going to let him get away with it.
09:09Well, I never heard of arresting anyone just for hitting a man with his fist.
09:12I'm charging him with assault, and I demand...
09:14Any time you want Tug Lawson in the court, he'll be around.
09:22Dad, I'm going over to the store. I'll see you in a few minutes.
09:34I've noticed how you always favor the cowmen.
09:36I favor no one. I only try to enforce the law.
09:39Well, don't forget, you'll be coming up for re-election pretty soon.
09:43Come on, boys.
10:06Come on, boys.
10:36Come on, boys.
10:38Come on, boys.
11:03Betty, Betty, are you all right?
11:05If it all happens this soon, I hardly knew what it was all about.
11:08I'm all right now.
11:14You all right?
11:16I won't try to thank you. I can't.
11:19But you'll always be a welcome visitor at the Lawson Ranch.
11:23Well, I'll sure bear that in mind.
11:26You ever hear anybody mention the name of Tex Ramsey? That's me.
11:30That was a mighty fine piece of work, mister.
11:33I owe you a big debt of gratitude.
11:35Oh, it was nothing. I just happened to see him first.
11:38Any cowhand would have done the same thing.
11:41Well, I'll be seeing you.
11:43Thank you, stranger.
12:03Well, are you satisfied with it, or were you aiming to make a trade?
12:07Satisfied with what?
12:09Your face.
12:11Oh, I had an accident.
12:13What do you want?
12:15My name's Tex Ramsey. Bat Haynes told me to look you up.
12:17Oh, I'm glad to know you.
12:19I'll get you fixed up right away. Sit down.
12:23Well, I'll be seeing you.
12:25Well, I'll be seeing you.
12:27Well, I'll be seeing you.
12:29Well, I'll be seeing you.
12:31I'll get you fixed up right away. Sit down.
12:36Here we are.
12:38Now, here's a nice choice location right here.
12:41Good water, level land, and...
12:43Yeah, but I don't... I don't figure on spending my life on this...
12:46Oh, we understand all that, but we don't talk about it.
12:49Just a legal technicality.
12:51Well, I don't like the idea of doing something I can't talk about.
12:54Well, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
12:56Just protecting honest men against those ornery cow-waddies.
12:59We're just being smart.
13:01Beating the other fellow to the punch.
13:03Well, I guess that's right.
13:06What's this over in here?
13:09That's Lawson's Ranch.
13:11Oh.
13:13Say, that is a right pretty spot.
13:16I'll take the one right next to it.
13:18Westward
13:23Westward
13:26Travelin' westward
13:30Over the prairie
13:34To a new home
13:39Westward
13:42Ridin' to glory
13:44Blazin' a new trail
13:48Where buffalo roam
13:54Roll, wagons
13:58Roll along
14:02While we ride
14:04O'er the plains
14:06Singin' a song
14:10Westward
14:14Ridin'
14:18Into the sunset
14:22Travelin' westward
14:26To a new home
14:30Travelin' westward
14:35To a new home
14:44Westward
14:49To a new home
14:53Hiya, mister.
14:55Back in 67, I sung in the Grand Opera.
14:57You did?
14:59Yep. Had to give it up, though.
15:01Too many women got to run after me.
15:03Oh.
15:05Were you aiming to settle here?
15:08Well, that's a general idea.
15:10Well, then. We'll be neighbors.
15:12I got the next quarter section over yonder.
15:14Folks call me Missouri.
15:16Well, I'm glad to be neighbors with you, Missouri.
15:19My name is Tex Ramsey.
15:21Right. Proud to know you.
15:27Well, hello. I'm glad to see you again.
15:29What are you doing here?
15:31What? Oh, oh, I...
15:34Well, I'm stretching barbed wire, building me up a fence.
15:37Are you a nester?
15:39Oh.
15:41Yes.
15:43In a way.
15:45Do you want me to run him off, Miss Betty, before he takes root?
15:47No, no. Leave him alone.
15:49You've saved yourself a third-rate cow puncher by saying no.
15:52I think I'd rather have been killed than owe my life
15:55to one of that low-down, thieving crowd that's overrunning our country.
15:59When I invited you to the ranch,
16:01I thought you fit to associate with decent people.
16:04I was mistaken.
16:09She kind of told it to you, didn't she, Bub?
16:12Yep.
16:14She sure did.
16:16Reminds me of the time in 6th or 7th that...
16:18Hey, wait a minute.
16:20Where are you going?
16:22To town.
16:24Something rotten about this set-up.
16:26I think I'll go in and see if I can find out what it is.
16:29You can't find out nothing by riding into town
16:31in a ratten and a snorting.
16:33Take it easy. Work from the inside.
16:35Say, maybe you're right.
16:38But...
16:52Now you boys go to the hotel and wait for further orders.
17:05Hello, Lem.
17:07Hello, Bat.
17:09How is everything?
17:11Everything is going just like we planned.
17:13Fine.
17:15I've got some more of the boys planted,
17:17and it won't be long before we'll control the entire water supply
17:20and force those cattlemen to sell out at our price.
17:22Good. Then we'll run things to suit ourselves.
17:25I sent some old boys over to the hotel.
17:27They're craving to take up homesteading.
17:30All right. Let them wait there till we decide where to spot them.
17:34That's the idea.
17:36Say, what about this Tex Ramsey you sent me?
17:39He's a fighting fool.
17:41Handle him carefully.
17:43Make him think everything is only up and up.
17:45I did that.
17:47Oh, another thing.
17:49We've got to get rid of that sheriff.
17:51I figured to do that.
17:54Let me see.
17:59Hi, boss. Heard you was back in town.
18:04Ha, ha, ha, ha.
18:06Say, Slim would make a good sheriff.
18:10You better go get slicked up.
18:12Yes, sir.
18:15You know, with him, Sheriff,
18:17we can cut the cattlemen off of their summer range.
18:20You're right.
18:22Then they'll either sell at my price
18:24or see their cattle starve.
18:27Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
18:30Now, listen, everybody.
18:32The big cattlemen have had all the say-so around here long enough.
18:35A new day is dawning.
18:37A day for the average citizen, you and me.
18:40A day for these earnest, hard-working men
18:42who want to take up land and make a home for themselves and their families.
18:45Now, I don't have to tell you men who to vote for.
18:48There's only one man.
18:50Slim Regan!
18:52Yeah!
18:54Yeah!
19:01Hello, boys. How are you?
19:03Who do you want me favoring for sheriff?
19:05Why, we're plumb in favor of the sheriff we've got.
19:07Well, we ain't.
19:09I ain't got no time to argue politics. You're not voting today.
19:12Yeah? What's gonna stop me?
19:14Because you ain't gonna get there in time.
19:16Now, get down off of them horses and shed your gun and pull off your boots.
19:24Dad!
19:26Dad, there's something wrong with Stack's foot.
19:28Yeah?
19:30He's limping.
19:32Well, I'll take a look.
19:38Run them horses off.
19:50Come on.
19:54Come on.
20:06Look!
20:08Yeah?
20:10There's one wedged in here, tight on a drum.
20:17Only one man and a girl.
20:19Jeff, you come with me.
20:21The rest of you boys keep that other road covered.
20:24I get all head up when I think of Slim Regan having the gall to run for sheriff.
20:29That no-account barfly.
20:40We're changing our mind about going to town.
20:43Just to make sure of that, pull off them boots.
20:46You hombres are sure piling up a lot of trouble for yourselves.
20:54Come on, get those boots off.
20:57If you want them, you'll have to take them.
21:24Come on.
21:54Dad!
22:18Dad, are you all right?
22:20Of course I'm all right.
22:22But where's that hombre that hit me?
22:24Last I see of him, he's going to lick and spit around that bend.
22:33What's going on over there?
22:35Oh, don't worry none about that.
22:41Ain't you Tex Ramsey?
22:43You guessed it.
22:44Why, you local maverick, you're fighting for the wrong side.
22:46What's the difference? I'm enjoying it.
22:48Hey, I've had enough.
22:52I've tamed this gentleman down considerable.
22:55Now you can have him if you want him.
22:57I sure do, sir, and I thank you kindly.
23:00Now you sit down and take off your boots.
23:12I think perhaps I was...
23:14I've sort of lost interest in what you think.
23:16Well, of all the...
23:17I took a hand in this because I don't like to see a man act like that.
23:21I don't like to see a man act rough with any woman, that's all.
23:24That's very noble of you.
23:26Yeah, I think so myself.
23:34He seems right uppity.
23:36Yes, very.
23:38That mild exercise and diversion
23:40kind of made you feel a mite better, didn't it, son?
23:43Well, I don't know but what it did.
23:45Reminds me of the time back in six or seven
23:47when I won the world's heavyweight championship.
23:50Back in Missouri?
23:51Yeah, with one arm tied behind me.
23:53That'll keep you from voting today.
24:20One day...
24:37I used to live out in the golden west
24:43I carried a six gun underneath my vest
24:47One day I met a bear, but the gun, it wasn't fair.
24:51Now I reckon you know who could run the best.
24:55And I used to ride Broncos by the score.
24:59And I'd ride them like they was never rode before.
25:02But the last one that I tried, he turned over in his hide.
25:06So I never touch the critters anymore.
25:11Mama said she hoped I'd always be as staunch and true
25:16as that old oak tree.
25:18And to prove that she was right, I'm bringing home tonight
25:22my parole from the penitentiary.
25:26Goodly, oh, lordly.
25:31Come on, everybody.
25:39Ankle up to the bar and have a drink on the new sheriff.
25:44Set them up.
25:46Hey, have a cigar on the new sheriff.
25:51Have a cigar on the new sheriff.
25:55You know, that was funny.
25:57While those Yehoos were prancing around barefooted,
26:00you slipped through enough bolts to turn the trick.
26:03Yeah.
26:05Now that we got the law hog tied,
26:06when do we open up and really go to work?
26:08Right away.
26:10They don't know it yet, but a lot of cattlemen
26:13are going to wake up with an awful headache.
26:16And I want Tug Lawson to have special attention.
26:19He'll get it.
26:24Give me that chair.
26:28Well, what happened to you?
26:30Ramsey.
26:31I thought he was all right.
26:33They got me when I wasn't looking.
26:35I sent the rest of the boys on when I stopped
26:37to take care of Tug Lawson.
26:39I didn't think it was anything to worry
26:40about when Ramsey rode up.
26:42Then all of a sudden, he tore him to me.
26:46I saw Ramsey in town.
26:48I'll see if he's still here.
26:53Wait till I get a hold of that fellow, the double crosser.
26:57Making me walk through them rocks.
26:59Just look at them stone bruises.
27:07Hi, bat.
27:08Have a drink on the new sheriff.
27:09Don't bother me.
27:12Cowboy, I thought in time you'd get wise to yourself.
27:17Well, I'm sorry if I've been a disappointment.
27:19You horned in where you had no business today,
27:22and I don't stand for that.
27:25Now, you string along with me from now on,
27:28or drag yourself out of here.
27:30Mr. Haynes, you and certain other people in this town
27:33have now made it plum impossible for me to leave.
27:37Well, it ain't impossible for you to end up in Boot Hill.
27:40Well, that's the way you feel about it.
27:43There's no time like the present.
28:11Come on.
28:37Now, hold on, gents.
28:39As long as the new sheriff ain't been sworn in yet,
28:41I reckon it's up to me to keep the peace.
28:44And I'll drop the first man that pulls the gun.
28:46You're not doing yourself any good.
28:48As an officer of the law, I never
28:50figured to do myself any good.
28:52I lost this election.
28:54But I ain't certain that I lost it on the level.
28:56Sheriff, judging by what's been elected,
28:58I'd say that you called the turn.
29:01A jackass don't need brains to make a noise with his mouth.
29:05Well, you ought to know.
29:16I made a mistake sending Ramsey here.
29:19Get some of the boys and get rid of him.
29:26All right, son.
29:27You just move along, and that'll help me keep the peace.
29:29Look out.
29:30That's him.
30:00He's dead in a mackerel.
30:02What happened?
30:03Well, Ramsey got him.
30:04Bart wasn't even packing a gun.
30:08Say, maybe he was after me.
30:09I had my back toward him.
30:11I'll get sworn in the first thing in the morning
30:13and go out after him.
30:15You know, it might save a lot of trouble
30:16if you brought him in on a pack horse.
30:19I'll get sworn in the first thing in the morning
30:21and go out after him.
30:23I'll get sworn in the first thing in the morning
30:25and go out after him.
30:27If you brought him in on a pack horse.
30:30Yeah, I reckon it would.
30:55You're hurt.
30:56Here, let me help you.
30:57Oh, I'll make out all right.
31:00But you must.
31:01Oh.
31:04Oh, you're badly hurt.
31:06You've got to let me help you.
31:12What happened?
31:14Well, seems like I stepped in front of a .44
31:18slug that was going someplace.
31:20Say, that's bad.
31:22Well, it ain't exactly good.
31:24I mean about you being hurt and that two-bit sheriff,
31:27Slim Riggin, on his way up here with a posse
31:29to arrest you for murder.
31:30From murder?
31:36They started the rumps.
31:37Well, that ain't the story Haynes tells.
31:45And another thing, they don't aim to take you back alive.
31:48Oh, well, then he can't stay here.
31:51Take him up to my place.
31:52They'd never think to look there for him.
31:54Could you try to ride a little farther?
31:58What have I got to lose?
31:59Well, if you can make it, you'd better get started.
32:06Wait a minute.
32:08Put him on my horse and leave his in here.
32:25Where's Ramsey?
32:26I don't know.
32:28I'm looking for him myself.
32:30His horse came in a while ago, but Ramsey wasn't with him.
32:46Well, I'm going to have to go.
32:47I'm going to have to go.
32:48I'm going to have to go.
32:49I'll have to go.
32:50I'm going to have to go.
32:51I'm going to have to go.
32:52I'm going to have to go.
32:54He must have fell out somewhere.
32:56Probably coyote bait by now.
32:58We'll look around.
32:59Come on.
33:16Careful.
33:24That was a tough ride, cowboy, but the worst is over.
33:43I'll have you comfortable in just a minute.
33:54Mr. Murray will soon be here to lend a hand,
33:56and we'll have you on your feet in no time.
33:59That's fine.
34:01I can't waste much time, because I owe bad Hanes a debt
34:06that I'm right anxious to pay off.
34:10Well, we've got those ranchers right where we want them.
34:15It'll be just like shooting a gun.
34:18Private Providence.
34:21These nesters are going too far.
34:23My cattle are coming through the back.
34:25You've got to be careful.
34:26They'll shoot if you get in the way.
34:29Where's the rifle?
34:30You'll see.
34:31I've got it.
34:32I've got it right under his nose.
34:34You got to take him away before we get him out.
34:36Well, let's get him out of there.
34:39Wait.
34:40Let's get him out now.
34:41How many times do you say that?
34:43These nesters are going too far.
34:46My cattle are coming through and they've got to have water.
34:49Cut that wire.
34:54Hold on there!
34:56I'll plug the first armory that cuts a wire.
34:59You heard me. Cut that wire.
35:14That's Lawson and his men at Jeff's Fence.
35:17They started the ball rolling. Come on!
35:31Hold that fire!
35:33Doug Lawson, I'm calling you in the name of the law to hold the peace.
35:37Come here!
35:44You! Come over here!
35:51We're going to have law and order around here as long as I'm sheriff.
35:54This is my rangeland and nobody's going to cut me off.
35:57This is my water and you can't use it.
36:00What good is rangeland without water?
36:02That's for you to figure out.
36:04You ain't no dirt farmer and this ain't farming land.
36:07Why did you homestead here?
36:09That's my business.
36:13It's his legal right to take up a homestead wherever he likes.
36:16You keep out of this!
36:18Wait a minute!
36:20Reagan should have better sense than to think Tug Lawson is a rustler.
36:23I hear you don't like the way things are run.
36:26That's right.
36:28Then why don't you move out?
36:30Because I like this country, in spite of some of the people that are in it.
36:35Whoo!
36:40Those farmers don't seem to work very hard.
36:43They work hard enough.
36:47Jeff, you come with me.
36:49I'll buy you boys a drink later.
36:51We'll be waiting for you.
36:54Watkins, the boys are in town for a little fun.
36:57Shell out some money.
36:59Sure.
37:01You know, Lawson's going to be pig-headed about selling out.
37:06I was just thinking.
37:08It might make the other ranchers a little easier to reason with...
37:12if the boys promoted themselves to be ranchers.
37:15I don't think so.
37:17I don't think so.
37:19I don't think so.
37:21If the boys promoted a necktie party...
37:24That's not a bad idea.
37:26Lawson's quite the bell tower on here.
37:30Get the crowd well oiled before you start the ball rolling.
37:33That's what I call a pleasant job.
37:52Hey, get the cabin. Won't you head shut off?
37:54Hey, what's the matter? What's the matter?
37:56Hide, quick. There's over a hundred of them.
37:58Who are they?
38:00I don't know. Who's you shooting at?
38:02Nobody.
38:03That's them. Nobody.
38:05And I'm darn near breaking my neck...
38:07getting up here to help you shoot a nobody.
38:09Old dad nabbit.
38:11I'm going to get you.
38:13I'm going to get you.
38:15I'm going to get you.
38:17I'm going to get you.
38:19Old dad nabbit.
38:21Well, I'm sorry if I got you all up in a ladder, old hammer.
38:25But I thought I'd better make a few practice throws.
38:28I want to be right sure that I'm not slowed down any...
38:31by this wound in my shoulder.
38:41Well, that's pretty good.
38:44Remind me of the time in 6th Heaven.
38:46They call me the William Tell of the West.
38:48Why, when I was a young fellow...
38:50Yeah, I remember. I remember, Missouri.
38:52But how's everything in town?
38:54Mighty bad. Yes, sir.
38:56The cattlemen had better pack their extra shirt and move out...
38:58or they won't even have that left.
39:00Two or three of the outpits is already sold out to Haynes.
39:03So, bat Haynes is having things pretty much his own way.
39:06He sure is.
39:08Betty, I wonder if we could ride over to your ranch.
39:10I'd like to talk to your father.
39:12All right.
39:15You know, this reminds me of a time...
39:18I put on a revolution over in China.
39:20Was that back in 6th Heaven?
39:22Yeah. How'd you know?
39:25I was one of the Chinese.
39:30My partner's always telling tales about his bravery
39:34But here's a little thing or two that happened unto me
39:38When Paul Revere, he took his ride
39:40I was riding by his side
39:42Back in 6th Heaven
39:45When Washington took Valley Forge
39:47I was there to help old George
39:49Back in 6th Heaven
39:52When Christopher Columbus took his ships and sailed the sea
39:56Now who's the man he took to have a round for company
40:00He couldn't find a braver man and so he called on me
40:04Back in 6th Heaven
40:08When Custer's men fell one by one
40:10I made all the Indians run
40:12Back in 6th to 7th
40:15A battle I remember still
40:17How I won at Bunker Hill
40:19Back in 6th to 7th
40:22You'd be surprised to know the fact that from the very start
40:26Now I'm the guy at Waterloo
40:28Defeated Boney Part
40:30To tell the truth now I was armed with just a little dart
40:34Back in 6th to 7th
40:38Now Daniel was a weakling when I walked in the lion's den
40:42Back in 6th to 7th
40:45I took a piece of chalk you see
40:47Put the mark on Anthony
40:49Back in 6th to 7th
40:52When Lincoln made his famous speech now you can easily guess
40:56Now I don't want to brag and boast but yet I must confess
41:00You're looking at the man who wrote the Gettysburg Address
41:04Back in 6th to 7th
41:09Oh, I give up
41:18Miss Betty, the sheriff came over to the ranch with a large posse and arrested your father
41:22This time for stealing cattle
41:24Cattle rustling is a pretty serious offense if they can make it stick
41:28You know I think it's about time that Bat Haynes and I had a showdown for good
41:33With him out of the way the rest of the gang will scatter like rats
41:38Missouri and I will go in and see after your father
41:40I'm going with you
41:42Oh, I think the best place for you is at home
41:47Take her to the ranch will you Red?
41:54Well old timer, looks like we're going to have a few fireworks
41:58You may be reminded of 6th to 7th or something
42:11I'm going back to the office
42:13What's the matter? Lawson got the Indian sign on you?
42:16I thought this party was your affair
42:19But I've got things to do
42:21It's funny whenever there's trouble brewing you've always got things to do
42:25Always got things to do
42:27Afraid of spoiling those lily white hands
42:37Why don't Slim Riggins put a damper on that?
42:39Why should he?
42:40Well whenever the whole town goes on a spree
42:42He generally winds up into trouble of some sort
42:45If he had any brains he'd know that
42:47You're not the sheriff anymore
42:48I'd advise you to mind your own business
42:51Yes, yes
42:54Yes we should have all the cattlemen we can in town today
42:58I'm telling everyone to meet at the crossroads
43:01Yes, yes it may be important to all of us
43:04So bring everyone you can
43:06Thanks, I knew we could count on you
43:09Goodbye
43:10Red, you meet them at the crossroads and lead them into town
43:13Alright Miss Betty
43:21There's no need to lock the front door when you leave the back one unlocked
43:29Well, what do you want?
43:31First I won't want money you've got in that safe
43:34It'll help pay the ranchers for some of the cattle they've lost
43:38No, I don't want any money
43:40I don't want any money
43:42I don't want any money
43:44I don't want any money
43:46I don't want any money
43:49No, I can't do that
43:51And I don't like to argue
43:54Alright
43:56Wait a minute
43:58When you finish I want you to sign a paper saying that all of these hired gunfighters are working for you and Bat Haynes
44:05And have no right to the homesteads they filed on
44:08No, you can't let me do that
44:10Alright, that's the way you want it
44:12Wait, wait, you wouldn't murder me
44:14Why not?
44:15If they catch me they figure to hang me on the count of bark
44:19Now I wouldn't mind at all if they'd hang me a second time on the count of you
44:23No, no, no, wait, don't shoot
44:25I'll sign it, I'll do anything
44:37Hey, hey
44:40Watch your sense of keeping rustlers in jail and paying to feed them
44:45Can't fatten them up for market
44:52Come on up and have a drink
45:02Sign it
45:15Now open the safe
45:46Hold on to this, Missouri
46:01Hey, Lim, ain't you come along and see the fun?
46:04The boys are about ready to sash over to jail and have their swing at it
46:07I'll be back in a minute
46:09Hey, Lim, ain't you come along and see the fun?
46:12Hey, Lim, ain't you come along and see the fun?
46:14The boys are about ready to sash over to jail and have their swing at it
46:17Well, he isn't in there, give me a light
46:19Oh, he's in there, alright
46:21He's crawled his hole where he'll be safe when it's all over
46:23Well, come on, let's get on back, we must have bought some drinks already
46:26Alright
46:31Who's been elected to swing?
46:33I don't know anything about it
46:35Don't lie
46:36Tug Lawson
46:38We've got to get to the jail right away, Missouri
46:41We've got to do a thing to protect him
46:43But he's got a murder warrant out for you
46:45Yeah, I know
46:47Ah, but we'll think of something
46:50Come on, let's tie this hombre up
46:52He'll stay put
46:58Hey, why are we waiting?
47:00Well, let's go
47:01Hold on, wait a minute
47:03Don't go loco just because you've got a few shots of liquor under your belt
47:06Alright
47:09Take a look, Missouri
47:18Close and clear, shake a leg
47:39I understand you desire the company of this here individual
47:43I sure do
47:45Bring him in
47:50Much obliged
47:52Put him right in here
47:54What are you doing?
47:56We're taking over this here jail
47:58And we'll be much obliged to you for the keys
48:00You can't do that
48:02I'll make you bet we can't
48:04And we don't have any time to fool with you
48:06Where are the keys?
48:07In that drawer
48:09Wait a minute
48:10I'll get them
48:17Wait a minute, wait a minute
48:19You're acting like a bunch of cattle
48:21Allowing yourself to be stampeded
48:23And you don't know what you're being stampeded about
48:25And it ain't good sense to stand in front of a stampeding herd
48:29You're right
48:31Now if anybody else has any objections
48:33Spit them out
48:34Come on men we got work to do
48:36Come on, come on
48:44Cooking up a necktie party over at the saloon
48:46And I don't think this is a good place for you to linger
48:50I don't think this is a good place for you to linger
48:53I don't think this is a good place for you to linger
48:56I don't think this is a good place for you to linger
49:00Mighty friendly of you son
49:02It's alright
49:03You take this gun
49:05And follow us
49:06We'll do our best to get you through
49:08Think we can make it Missouri?
49:22We'd never get ten feet after Lawson walked out that door
49:25You two go alone I'll take my chances
49:27I'd sort of dislike myself if I did
49:29You debatize us we'll help you defend the jail
49:31I ain't defending no jail
49:33Yes you are
49:34That's your duty as sheriff
49:39I ain't no real sheriff
49:41Val Haynes and Lemwock can stall that election for me
49:44Yeah that's what I thought
49:45But just the same you're going to act like a sheriff
49:48For a while
49:58Wait a minute
50:00What's the matter with him?
50:02Stay here while I go and talk to him
50:04Hold your horses
50:06Stay here while I go and talk to him
50:08Hold your horses
50:26Say what's the idea?
50:28Take his gun Missouri
50:30Now lock him up
50:32Come on
50:34Dig in
50:37Come on in there
50:58Something wrong there
50:59Come on
51:03All right Mr. Lawson let's see if we can hold them off
51:05You take the window I'll take the door
51:33Let's go
52:03Come on
52:18Come on
52:20Come on
52:34Come on
52:45Stop
52:46Stop shooting boys
52:47It's Red and the cattlemen
52:52Boys put them up
53:04You're going back to the sheriff's office
53:06You can't do this to me
53:07Oh no
53:10Are you all right?
53:12I'm sure glad to see you sheriff
53:14You know Slim says that he never was entitled to be sheriff of this county
53:18So I guess that puts it up to you
53:21I caught this fella trying to get away
53:23Oh that's ridiculous
53:24That man is wanted for murder
53:26I demand that you arrest him
53:28I'm going to arrest him
53:30That man is wanted for murder
53:32I demand that you arrest him
53:33Oh no
53:34He killed Bart in self-defense
53:36You're off to try to drag out him and he fought his way out
53:39Here's a little paper sheriff that I think you'll find right interesting
53:43Now he forced me to sign that
53:45That paper proves that Bat Haynes, Watkins and their whole gang are crooked
53:50These land grants they've been flashing about are worthless
53:53Why this is just the evidence we've been looking for
53:56Missouri
53:59Now this is all the money that Watkins had in his safe
54:03Maybe it'll help repay some of the cattlemen for their losses
54:07Dad are you all right?
54:08Yes honey
54:09Lawson I'm mighty glad things turned out the way they did
54:12And so am I
54:13But you can thank these two fellas for it all
54:18What are you going to do now that the war is over?
54:20Well I started out to be a nester so I'll be a nester
54:25If the cattle business should ever appeal to you
54:28We're badly in need of a foreman
54:32Son you may as well give in and save the struggle
54:37Well I guess you're right Missouri
54:40Ma'am
54:42You've hired yourself a new foreman
54:46I've been all my life in the saddle
54:53All I know is to punch an old cow
54:59Well I never could work on a sheep range
55:05That's burned if I'll follow a plow
