:14:10
- You getting the hang of it?
- I'm trying.
:14:23
Tom, I don't know
whether John here told you...
:14:26
but we've got
a hell of a range problem here.
:14:28
The damn rustlers have
completely wiped out our herd profits...
:14:33
not to mention...
:14:34
what the buzzards and the predators
have done to our cash crops.
:14:38
We got people
homesteading our rangeland...
:14:41
and raising sheep on our grass.
:14:43
Right at the present time, Mr. Horn,
what's your primary source of livelihood?
:14:47
Mr. Coble offered me
to ease up at his place for a while...
:14:51
and I said I'd earn my keep.
:14:52
That's good enough.
:14:54
Tom, you met Joe Belle?
United States Marshal.
:14:57
Hello.
:14:58
I'm not wanted for anything, am I?
:15:01
Why don't you two fellows see...
:15:02
if you can get your heads together
for a few minutes?
:15:05
Go ahead.
:15:06
- Do you know who I am?
- No.
:15:11
What you used to be in the southwest...
:15:14
I used to be in the northwest.
:15:15
How does that work?
:15:18
I know that you've been,
as I've been, a man hunter.
:15:21
I was a tracker.
:15:24
Better still.
:15:27
John Coble's put in
a pretty fervent recommendation for you...
:15:30
to The Cattlemen's Association
to help control the rustling.
:15:34
I believe his point was...
:15:36
handling rustlers after your experience
with the Apache wars...
:15:39
should be like shooting fish in a barrel.
:15:42
Now, you're talking about...
:15:44
the high side of shooting
and the low side of the law.
:15:48
Bring them to trial if you like.
I feel that what I know about you...
:15:53
you're gonna wanna go ahead and shoot.
:15:56
From the standpoint of the Association,
that's going to be entirely up to you.
