Lawman Page #3

Maddox needs a lesson

taught.

Can I say something, pop?

Now, I wasn't

ever in bannock,

but it seems to me

if pa here

is willing to pay

for the damages,

give the old man's family

something,

then this Maddox

has no cause to push.

If he does,

I think Harv's right.

There are 2 men

dead already.

That's a bit heavy.

I don't think

this Maddox runs easy,

and killing a lawman

is a certain way

for trouble.

I'll talk with him.

Maybe he has a Price.

Maybe he's

a reasonable man.

If not, all we've lost

is a few hours.

If we decide to go back,

Ill cover

any of your losses.

Most we'd face

is a fine, anyway,

if that.

We'll try it my way.

Our food's been

laid out.

Vern, Hurd, will you

gentlemen be my guests?

Choctaw, show 'em where

to get washed up.

When it comes down

to bedrock,

my word don't call much,

does it, Vince?

I'm just hired help.

No man means

more to me, Harv.

All Ive got

is you and Jason.

But you're like some

yellow, dumb ladino...

all longhorn

and no brains.

We've got 10,000 head

of good cows,

a valley of sweet grass,

and money in the bank.

That didn't come easy.

We both us put 30 years

of sweat into it.

I don't want to drop it

on some dumb gunplay.

I don't like to see you

backing off, Vince.

You're making a mistake.

I don't see it that way.

Ride into Sabbath

in the morning, see Ryan.

Hear how he made out.

I want to step around this.

If Maddox is open, tell Ryan

to set up a meeting.

Send Jason.

I'm asking you.

Keep clear of Maddox.

Take Crowe with you.

It's a great life.

If you were

some cheap gunsel

with a big name

running out in

front of ya,

they'd all be

buying you drinks,

rubbing up

against you,

fixing up what they're

gonna tell the kids

and the ones

who weren't there.

But if you're a lawman,

you're a disease.

They need you,

but they hate you.

Comes with the job.

I saw Bronson.

He wants to talk.

Talk?

He wants to trade.

He says he's sorry.

He means it.

I know him.

He didn't know

anybody was killed.

He wants to make it

all good.

Something for

my pockets, too.

Why not?

You could hear

what he's got to say.

I just heard.

The old man was

just an accident.

They'll get a chance

to say their piece

in bannock.

Be reasonable,

Maddox.

Good night, Ryan.

There will be some dyin'.

It'll be their doin'.

Mr. Bronson?

What are you doing

out here, Crowe?

We just brought a couple

of hundred head up

from Bornite creek,

Mr. Bronson.

I saw a rider,

and, uh...

who else is with you?

Uh, Hitchins

and Jason,

sir.

You and my son are about

the same age, aren't you?

Uh, Jasons

a bit younger...

Ever been up here

before?

No, sir. I figured
