- How did you do? - $36 a head.
- What are you gonna do with all
that money? - Just put in the bank.
Did you ever deposit
$ 18,000 in the bank?
Every week.
You put down the check, the man looks
if it is good, looks at you...
And all of a sudden he respects you.
That is what $ 18,000 will do.
- Lance, I wanna talk to you.
- Shoot.
No one is gladder than me what you've
done so good in the past five years.
- People are starting to talk.
- Go ahead.
It ain't no use in grubbing it in.
Am I not one of the
leading citizens?
Wyoming is now part of the United States.
There is a different kind of people here.
Shop keepers, railroad men...
They are not used to...
Rich Indians?
Lance, you know what I'm trying to say.
Watch yourself.
- Alright, Marshall, I'll buy you a drink.
Shot of moose milk. - No thanks, it's too early.
- Come on! - You don't want to drink.
- Come on! It will do you good.
- Hello. Bob!
- Hello, boys!
Reach down under the bar
and bring up my friend.
What's the matter?
Has the well gone dry?
No liquor allowed for Indians!
- How did it get there?
- I put it there. Territorial law.
That's your job, Zeke.
Civilization is a great thing.
- The law no says I can't buy you
a drink, Lance. - No, thanks Bob.
- How about you, Red Rock? - I'd choke.
- We take soda water. - Huh?
- There's no law against an Indian
drinking water, is there? - Sure.
Speaking of law, Mike, an
interesting situation has developed
with the formation of the Territory and
the opening of the Regional Office in Wyoming.
All this land around here is
open to homesteading.
- A real interesting development.
- Yes, yes.
It's of particularly interest to sheep men, Nebraska
and Kansas. The ranch has been burning up there.
So I thought it only fair to pass the word
there is plenty of feed and water right here.
On land that's open for homesteading.
They should be headed this way now.
- I've been thinking on a piece of land myself.
- You have never seen Sweet Meadows, have you?
- No.
- It's like the laugh of a beautiful woman.
You ride through the Devil's Doorway,
and the wind is cold.
And then you see Sweet Meadows.
Somehow the sky is a deeper shade
of blue and the grass is greener.
It's a dream all men have
when they ache for home.
On Sweet Meadows.
- Is that alright with you, Indian?
- Now, I don't want any trouble in here.
You're quite an
Indian-lover, ain't you?
Mr. Coolan, there is only one
solution to the Indian problem.
You don't think it's right for an Indian
to control 20,000 acres of the best land?
