will be needing a transportation voucher.

I'll take you to Hennessey, ma'am. You can

get the stage for Silverton from there.

That's as far as I'll take you.

Silverton stage?

Day after tomorrow.

We can use some rest.

Julio.

Heh. Well, we're going

to Silverton together?

Those of us who's going.

I sent my family back to Wichita.

That's where I'm heading.

You know, this man in Hopperville...

...has reaI strong hope for this territory.

Why, just the other day, he says:

"Lee, now, if you wait it through,

you can bring your family back.

Sooner or later, we're gonna run

all the Indians out," he says.

He took my knife.

He tried to kill me.

What's the trouble?

My boy. He's gone.

Bring out my horse.

Never seen...

...nothing...

...like him.

Salvaje.

He'll come back.

- Not here.

- We should go now. He'll come.

We're not going anywhere.

He's finished here.

He did what he came to do.

He is not finished.

He came for his son.

He'll come back for his son.

You pulled us out here knowing all the time

he'd come after us?

I thought he would not get to us in time.

Five days.

You couldn't wait for five days?

You could've had an Army escort

in five days.

Is that worth five days?

He will come back.

- We cannot stop.

- Well, we've stopped.

Whoa.

Where's your Mex? What's going on?

He's dead.

They're all dead. Salvaje.

Nobody leave the wagon.

We're moving out.

These people are going to Silverton.

- Government traveI papers.

- All right, all right, put them on.

Hurry it up.

Just show this to the stationmaster

at Silverton.

You riding with us, mister?

I'd sure feeI better

if somebody was riding behind us.

I'd appreciate it.

Hyah! Giddyup.

Whoa.

Changing horses. Fifteen minutes.

Thank you.

Much obliged.

Depot.

Train comes in over there.

Come on, we'll get your tickets.

Columbus?

You said you wanted to go to Columbus.

I don't know.

Well, you said you had family

in Columbus.

My family is dead.

Well, there must be somebody left there.

Friends, somebody.

All right.

Columbus.

I'm afraid this won't take them

to Columbus.

This voucher can't cross them

into Ohio on the ReveI Line.

And there'd be a change in Kansas City

to the ReveI Line.

Get them to Topeka.

Well...

What about Topeka?

You wanna go to Topeka?

It's far. It's in Kansas.

All right.

Topeka.

Two?

The lady and the boy.

Train should be here sometime

about 2 or 3.

It'll take them as far as Taspola.

They'll have to change there

and wait on for a train to Gallup.

It shouldn't be more than a few hours.

Then they can ride this ticket

through to Dodge City.

God willing.

Then just wait till Tuesday...

...and then they can just take
