Copper Canyon Page #8

I want to say to you.

Will you be here?

Come back safely.

Don't worry.

Prepare to mount!

Mount!

Forward!

Ho!

All right, take your men

and fan out in front.

Let's go!

More than likely

they'll turn tail

at the first shot.

Yeah?

Well, supposing they don't?

We've got a surprise

for them.

Bat, show him our surprise.

Blasting powder.

All right, fan out!

Sergeant!

Yes, sir!

Looks like we got them

on the run, Lieutenant.

Sound recall!

Both columns in force!

Forward ho!

Ya-hoo!

Whoo-whoo-whoo!

We'll never make it.

I'm afraid he's right, sir.

I tell you what you do:

Dismount half your men,

maintain a continuous fire

from this area,

and in five minutes' time

with the rest of your men,

charge again, you understand?

Yes, sir.

Right.

Come on, giddy up!

I think our five minutes

are up.

Like suicide to charge now.

They're bound to have

more powder.

Our orders were to charge

and I propose to follow them.

We're with you, Lieutenant.

I think they're

going to charge again.

Get more blasting powder.

You might as well give up!

You're surrounded!

Drop your guns!

Go on, get out of here!

Get over in there!

Where's Travis?

In there.

Shall we take the prisoners

back to town, sir?

- Yes.

- Yes, sir.

Lieutenant, you did

a fine job for us.

Thanks.

From the commandant

at the fort, sir.

The sergeant thought

it might be urgent.

Tell Mr. Carter

I'd like a word with him.

Mr. Carter just

rode away, sir.

Giddy up!

Hup! Hup!

Whoa! Hold it!

Where do you think

you're going?

- Sacramento.

- Los Angeles.

Well, make up

your minds.

Well, uh, it really was

San Francisco.

Look, here's $200.

Get me an engagement ring...

the best it'll buy.

It'll be a pleasure, Lieutenant.

Why, congratulations.

Thank you, Miss Lisa.

And here's a nail I bent

to the exact size.

And now, Mr. Carter,

it'll ease my conscience

if you'll get the blazes

out of here.

My congratulations, too,

Lieutenant.

It's "Captain," now, Scamper.

Just got the news.

Well!

Here we go.

Any special plans?

Well, I'd still like

to open that theater

if I could raise the money.

$20,000, wasn't it?

Mm-hmm.

You know, by a strange

coincidence,

I happen to have

just that amount

in the lining of my gun case.

A gift from an uncle

in the North.

Well...

maybe I should marry the uncle.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!
