Last Train from Gun Hill Page #5

You keep your worthless butt

off my property, you hear!

Rick!

- I thought I made a man out of you.

- It wasn't my fault. It was nobody's fault.

What are you making a fuss about?

She was just a squaw.

I'll tell you who she was.

That was Matt Morgan's wife!

You know what I think of Morgan.

You've heard me talk about him enough.

- That was my friend's wife you killed!

- It was an accident!

He's come for you

with a hanging warrant.

If I was Matt, I wouldn't serve

that warrant. I'd kill you.

- I can take care of myself.

- Yeah, you can!

I know how to handle a gun, and I ain't

running away. I'm going in to town.

- Take Beero and Skag!

- I don't need bodyguards.

Think you're up against some field hand?

It's Matt Morgan. Do as I say.

And don't you do a thing till I get there.

Beero! Skag! Get in here!

- What'll happen to Lee?

- He'll be drunk in an hour.

I gotta tell you something, Pa.

It wasn't Lee's fault.

He'll be drunk in an hour.

If Matt finds him, he'll be dead in two.

I just hope that eases Matt's hurt.

I'm looking for Rick Belden.

Do you know where I can find him?

- What do you want him for, Marshal?

- To talk to him and Lee.

- Never heard of them.

- Maybe you got the wrong town.

No, I got the right town.

- Maybe I'm talking to the wrong people.

- That's the only kind we got.

Before we're through,

you're gonna have two less.

That's right nasty of you, Marshal.

We heard talk about an Indian girl...

Hereabouts we don't arrest a man for

killing an Indian. We give him a bounty.

What'll it be, Marshal?

Whiskey.

It's none of my business,

but I've some free advice...

- Get out of town?

- That's right.

- How much?

- It's on the house, just like the advice.

You wouldn't know where to find them?

If they was standing right next to you,

I wouldn't tell you. I've got a family.

Yeah, I can understand that.

Isn't anybody here not afraid of Belden?

Sure, the graveyard's full of them.

I'm not afraid of Craig Belden.

- What are you doing in a place like this?

- I was raised in places like this.

That makes two of us.

They're saying

you're gonna get yourself killed.

- Is that what they say?

- It's what they say.

Just like Jimmy.

A fella I used to know. Just like you.

Always wanted to make everything right.

He had a heart as big as a house

and a brain the size of a pea.

You don't know where Rick Belden is?

No.

But I know where I'd look.

- Where?

- That gin mill across the street.

It's called Charlie's Place,

but Craig Belden counts the cash.

Thanks.

If any of the girls try and tell you how

wonderful you are, don't believe them.

I know, I used to deal there.
