Asking for you.

And he wanted a ridin' job with us, Tate.

- Then go get him.

- There he is.

Jim Garry!

Hello, Tate.

This is Jim Garry. The man I sent for.

He's no range detective.

What went wrong, Jim? What Happened?

Who started this?

Ask these jokers here, Tate.

If that's Garry, what's he doing at Lufton's?

Were you at the Lufton's place?

Yeah he was. I seen him.

That's right. I delivered a not from him to his women folk.

What about it?

Well it's Lufton's outfit that's tryin' to

run us out of the country, Jim.

Am I supposed to know that?

Why no. I forgot.

I never wrote Jim about our fight with Lufton.

I told him I needed him and asked him to come on up.

Now stop chewin' leather and

go and get yourself a drink.

Sam old Jim, when lightning strikes

you're there.

It wasn't a fair test.

Come on, let's get you a room.

It's good to see you again Jim.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

I'm here.

Yeah. I heard things haven't been

breaking too good lately.

Well, that's a bootless job - trail driving.

I told you that we split up two years ago.

Understand you fin'lly got your own herd.

And two weeks later I saw 'em strung out along the

bottomlands. Dead of the Fever.

We'll forget it. There's money in this deal.

Big money.

- Barney, how about a room for my friend here?

- Sure.

I wouldn't wish one on him if was a friend of mine though.

Oh. This has got your name on it.

Somebody fired it through the back window during the ruckus.

We're goin' out tonight fellows.

I know where Lufton's crossing.

- How do you know?

- Never mind, I know.

Be ready to leave in half an hour.

Drink up, Jim.

Wait here, I'll be right back.

I suppose you'd like to know what

this is all about?

I have been kinda wondering, yeah.

Well I'm not gonna tell you, Jim.

I'm gonna show you.

Come in.

Jim, this is Mr. Pindalest. United States agent for

the Ute Indians over at the Reservation

This is Jim Garry, my partner.

How do you do?

You didn't tell me before about a partner.

Well I'm telling you now.

Before we go on any further,

I want to understood how he'll figure in this.

You mean money?

Don't worry Pindalest.

I'll share with Jim.

Hmm.

Well, here's the, uh, item we were talking

about the other day.

Think you'll find it satisfactory.

United States dollars are usually satisfactory,

aren't they?

Now look. I told you Garry is my partner, Pindalest.

What I know, he knows..

So relax and sit down.

No, I won't stay.

Scared?

Scared?

Just cautious, Riling.

Well that's our partner, Jim.

Cautious...

And this is our working capital,

courtesy of the United States Government.

There's enough there to buy me 2,500 head

of Lufton's beef, four dollars a head.
