Coroner Creek Page #4

he's after my place - the Box H.

If you have title he can't steal it.

- He has ways that he can, legally.

There isn't enough open range

for both our outfits.

And he's trying to squeeze me out.

But with you on my side we

might do the squeezing.

- Yes, we might.

Thank you so much.

Chris, isn't it?

We'll show Miles

that he can't bluff us.

Kate, congratulate me.

I've hired him.

- He's a stranger here, Della, a drifter,

you don't know anything about him.

I know enough about him to want him

to work for me and that settles it.

Well, Kate,

how do you like the new material?

It's beautiful, would make a lovely dress.

Must have been expensive.

- It wasn't cheap, the best in Kansas City.

When Roy was alive he used to say

"Every time you get a new dress,

I have to cut out a dozen

head of cattle to pay for it."

Speaking of cattle, I gotta get back.

Tell Chris to hurry. Goodbye, dear.

Andy?

Are you ready, Miss Harms?

- Yes.

Andy, you ride Mr Danning's horse.

Huh? Yes, ma'am.

Hey, tell me something will ya, how

comes Miss Harms hired that drifter?

Don't tell me, I know,

most women ain't got no more sense

that a sheep herder.

What did you expect to gain by

insulting Abbie Miles in public?

What has she ever done to you?

- Nothing.

Was it to get at Younger Miles?

Cos if it was you've hurt her much

more than you could ever hurt him.

For the room.

And now you're gonna work for Della Harms?

- That's right.

Have you stopped to think what you'll start?

- From what Miss Harms told me that's already started.

What are you after anyway?

- Now that's my business.

From what I've seen of your business

it means nothing but trouble here.

Why don't you ride on through?

- When I'm ready.

You're sick with hating, aren't you?

Why don't you finish it now and go?

I'll finish it. A little every day.

Mr Danning, you ride with me.

Andy will bring your horse.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, there goes another foreman of

Della Harms we'll have to run out of

this part of the country.

What's wrong with him?

- I don't know.

His spirit is dead,

you can see it in his eyes.

They're ugly, but his face isn't.

He just doesn't care.

Then why should you?

- I don't.

All of that as far as you can see

is the Rainbow Ranch.

With Younger Miles sitting at

the end of the Rainbow, eh?

That's right, Mr Danning.

I don't imagine he's a man who'd take

kindly to losing that position.

Losing is the one word that drives

Younger Miles crazy.

Crazy?

You know, Miss Harms, that's an idea.

That green patch there

starts at the Box H.

Take care of Mr Danning's horse.

Since when -

- Andy, do as I say.

- Yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

Well, how do you like it?
