They exchanged fire
with the Pinkerton guards. . .
:44:04
. . .raided the payroll office
and blew the track.
:44:07
-How much did they get from the safe?
-$35,000 in currency. . .
:44:12
. . .plus the added delay
of miles of destroyed track.
:44:15
I'll kill them for blowing up
my railway.
:44:20
-They didn't actually blow the track.
-Who did?
:44:26
We did. I mean, our men did.
:44:30
Our workers planted the dynamite,
but they were under duress.
:44:34
Pinkerton, what is going on here?
:44:38
You managed to piss off the wrong
bunch of farm boys this time.
:44:44
-They had to be dealt with.
-By burning down their homes?
:44:48
You wouldn't have done that?
:44:51
I would have done that. But I'd make
sure I killed them all first.
:44:57
-I want them arrested and hanged.
-Do you think a jury in these parts. . .
:45:01
. . .would convict one of their own?
I doubt it.
:45:05
-We're beginning an interesting game.
-This is no game.
:45:09
I'm afraid our adversaries
don't agree.

was robbed near St. Louis, Missouri.
:45:20
The James-Younger gang was outnumbered
by Pinkerton detectives. . .
:45:25
. . .but they were no match
for the guns of the West. "

Fine piece of writing.

"The gang destroyed
the Thaxton Switch site. . .

farmers can sleep without fearing. . .

to steal their land. "

Who wrote this? I'll see them hanged.

That's the best part.
