:12:01
But we're at peace with the Apache,
except for a few...

:12:03
Mrs. Lowe, if you've got good sense...
:12:05
you'll pack up you and that boy of yours
and come out with me.

:12:08
There's trouble brewing
in the Apache lodges.

:12:10
Vittorio, their main chief,
called a war council.

:12:13
A full report of it is in that dispatch
I'm carrying.

:12:15
But you don't know, we've always
gotten along splendidly with the Apache.

:12:20
They drink and bring their horses
to our spring...

:12:23
on their way north to the buffalo hunt.
:12:25
I've never seen the great Vittorio,
but there've been plenty of Apaches here.

:12:30
I've seen the great Vittorio,
before the treaty.

:12:37
His horse had 40 scalps hung in its mane.
:12:40
That was before the treaty.
:12:43
We broke that treaty, us Whites.
:12:46
There's no word in the Apache language
for lie, and they've been lied to.

:12:50
If they rise, there won't be...
:12:52
- a White left in the territory.
- They won't bother me.

:12:55
Us, I mean. We always got along very well.
:12:58
People I know, man and his wife,
got along real well for...

:13:02
20 years. Then one day...
:13:05
she upped and blew a hole in him...
:13:06
big enough to drive a stagecoach through.
:13:09
She got mad. The Apaches are mad.
:13:12
Well, I have nothing to worry about,
I'm sure.

:13:16
Nice to be sure.
:13:21
Get out of the way.
:13:23
- Strange dog you have.
- I don't have him.

:13:26
- The two of you are together.
- He stays with me.

:13:29
- He can smell an Indian at a half a mile.
- He smells Indians? I don't believe it.

:13:34
Sure, lots of dogs smell Indians.
You can teach them.

:13:37
Teach them? How?
:13:38
First you get yourself a puppy and then...
:13:41
you hire yourself a tame Indian
and cut a willow switch.

:13:44
Then you get the Indian to beat the puppy...
:13:46
with a willow switch four or five times
a day.

:13:48
And when he grows up,
he'll always signal when he smells an Indian.

:13:52
Beat a puppy. How cruel.
:13:54
That's the way they do it.
:13:56
Anyway, I don't believe
a dog can smell Indians.

:13:58
I mean, as different from anyone else.
