I am sorry Gentlemen. I realize this
places you in an awkward position.
But I know these Comanche's.
Particularly I know Chief Stand Alone.
If he has made up his mind to
fight, He is going to fight.
- That is all there to it.
-We are sent here to talk peace with the Indians.
What are we to say to the president?
I can't take responsibility, of permitting
you to go any further into Indian country.
Col! Our instructions from president clearly
states that you will provide us with an army escort!
An escort?
You see that ridge over
there. The first one...
Our entire force couldn't move a mile
beyond that without a pitch battle.
I don't think that you would be much
use to the president without your scalps.
Sentry reports amount of force in
Indian form. Looks like an attack.
They two in front. They
look like white men.
Those Indians were
escorts! Hold your fire.
Howdy colonel!
- What's the meaning of this corporal?
Meet colonel Grant!
- How do you do colonel?
Who are you?
My name is Stanley. I am a
reporter for The New York Herald.
Newspaperman?
Didn't you know better
that to take this...
Civilian into Indian territory?
I tried to talk him out of it. But he
is so dead set on seeing the old chief...
- Chief San Tata?
- Yep!
You mean to say you saw chief san tata?
I am sorry I cannot tell you that.
Come on Jeff! We got to get the railroad
and telegraph our story back to New York
Just a moment Mr. Stanley!
This is field head quarters
These two gentlemen are the
Presidents' peace commissioners.
You will oblige me by
answering their questions.
- Sorry colonel! I cant do that.
- You cant? Or you wont?
Well if you want to put it
that way colonel. I wont.
Suppose I place you under arrest.
Maybe that will change your mind.
You can't arrest me
colonel. I know my rights.
My paper sent me to get
a story and I got it.
All of this is the exclusive
property of our boss. James Bennet.
Presidents going to hear about this.
He will hear about, when everybody else
does. When he will read the New York Herald.
- Come on Jeff!
- Good day Colonel.
What's the matter? Roughness?
No, I take these to help
me mind my own business
Just a moment gentlemen. I have
listened to you with patience.
Now, apparently you don't
like the way I run my paper.
But it's my paper and that's
the way I intend to run it.
I intend to feature in the Herald first and
upto the minute news of sensational events.
And for your information senator,
I intend to go on telling the truth
About graft and
corruption in high places.
More prominent the rascal.
The bigger the news.
And furthermore gentlemen I
intend to continue making news
While my competitor sit around
waiting for it to happen.
Now suppose we get down to the
business that brought you here.
You came to buy me out. Didn't you?
Well that is more or less what
we planned to discuss with you.
And now if you would let us know
your lowest price of the herald.
One-cent daily and 5 cents
on Sundays. What is it Albert?
- Mr. Stanley is here Sir!
- Well, show him in.
Hello Stanley! That was a great story.
- Thanks!
Welcome back! Bennet is waiting
to pin a leather medal on you.
Hello, Mr. Stanley! -Well, how are you?
Say were those real Indians? -It's
the realest Indians that you ever saw.
Billy, I want you to meet Jeff Slogan. The
best Indian scout in whole Wyoming territory
Keep an eye on him for me but don't
believe everything that he tells you
As a matter of fact Billy, don't
