The Man from Utah Page #2

Kent's time was 15 seconds flat.

its a brave try

but Kent's record still stands.

however we have a dark horse with us today.

A man from Utah will try his luck.

let him loose !

a new world record, ladies and gentlemen!

the man from Utah rode and tied his cub

in 14 seconds flat.

that one got away!

...better luck next time...

that's 3 events taken in a day, the one

from Utah ! he looks like holding to me.

yeah! we got to do something about it.

I don't want to pull anything too rough

unless we have to.

Kent, you take the boys up into the cabin

and Dolores will get him up there.

just work over him gently.

leave that for us.

-are you ready ?

-let her loose.

Dolores, the young girl that you met on the stage

was in the gang from the beginning.

play up to her

and see what you can find out.

I will meet you in the saloon tonight.

that concludes today's event,

ladies and gentlemen.

Don't forget, tomorrow is the big day.

-Oh, you were wonderful.

-thanks Miss. that means lot coming from you.

I like you to come to the house for dinner tonight.

I told father that

maybe you can get you to reconsider the offer.

we need somebody like you.

Oh, Mr. Weston. It was wonderful

the way you win today.

my brother is a big Rodeo star also.

and he would like to meet you.

..wont you come now ?

- well .... I ....

Yes.

goodbye Miss. Carter!

I will see you tomorrow.

-here they come Kent !

-you boys get out at the back.

this is my brother, Cheyenne Kent.

-how do you do Kent.

-pleased that you have accepted our hospitality.

-sit down, Dolores will fix us a drink.

-thanks.

I must say that I watched your show today

and thought you were great.

well you did some mighty fine work yourself.

-full on !

-no thanks. I don't drink

well, here's looking at you !

well Weston, tomorrow is the big day

now that you would ride in with us.

he got away !

we have to go tell Boss about this.

and he will be plenty sore.

hey sheriff, the gang just jumped me

up at the Spanish woman's house.

I got a hunch that if you go up there,

you can pick up some of the gang

that were mixed up at the

stage coach hold up yesterday.

yeah ? well you don't get look to me

like that you have been in any fight

you don't get me out of here

on no wild goose chase either.

I am staying right here to guard this money.

-suit yourself.

-oh Utah! I got some prize money for you..

-that's a lot of money there judge ?

-yeah. we are doing pretty well.

taken in 8.000 dollars today,

and expecting more tomorrow.

we will have close to 30.000 dollars

in this bank, by tomorrow night.

30.000 dollars,

- you are taking an awful chance, aren't you ?

I am still guarding this bank, young fellow.

pardon me Sheriff !

thanks judge.

hello Miss Carter !

Hey Buddy ! ain't you the whooper snapper

that won most of the events out there today ?

-I wont appraise it that way.

-sit down.

hey, you look like the young fellow

that won the belt at Cheyenne, last summer.

no that was my grand dad.

I have been nosing around. seems to me

that we will have to give this fellow Burton.

after what you have done today,

he will probably be glad knowing you.

get on the bar and make a bet on yourself

you lookie up.

well alright!

if you cant fix him off,

then I have to buy him off.

if you are wrong with your work

I will use my brain.

that boy put it over on you twice.

fine bunch you are.

guess who is just talk out there.

he just came in.

-fine, I will take care of him right now.

-what it will be ?

-wanna place a bet?

a 1000 dollars, on Weston to win.

he is on 1:
2. favor.

that's right

but its an easy 500.

Beg pardon ! you are Weston aren't you ?

my name is Burton ...

...I am head of the rodeo committee.

-I would like to talk to you privately.

-certainly Burton.

I want to apologize for the little over incident

that my boys had with you.

they thought you were somebody else.

they found out their mistake and they are sure sorry.

...I would like to have you meet them.

fact is I like to have you join up with us Weston.

you will never get into the big money in this game

unless you play with a gang.

I guess you know what I mean.

- well it sounds good to me.

I have always heard

that you have to be on the inside

...to be anything.

what's your proposition?

just this, right now you are 1 to 2 in favor.

that means you are going to win

on a 1000 dollars bet, 500 dollars.

seems for you to do is to let me

place 2000 for you on Kent's 2:1.

and if you should be off form tomorrow

and Kent wins,

you stand to make 4.000 dollars.

now that's a lot better than 500 dollars isn't it ?

- I am glad that you are right.

that's fine, I am glad that you can see it our way.

come into the back room.

I want you to meet some of the boys.

boys, Weston here is going to join up with us.

I want you all to treat him right.

- Weston meet Cheyenne Kent.

- I think we have met before.

-signore Weston,

we will see a lot of each other,

now that we are friends.

I am kind of agreeing at this racket,

I suppose there are a lot of things

over this rodeo business that you can tell me.

-well Boys, see you later.

so long Burton. -so long.

-well just make that 2.000 on Weston.

see boys, it just takes a bit of brains

to handle a guy like that.

yeah.. how do you know

that he wont cross yourselves ?

well, if he does

then we can still get him with the needle.

we are cleaning up all this after this one anyhow.

-what did you make out son?

-you had the right hunch Martial.

Burton is the brains in the gang alright.

I placed the bet like you told me ...

he made me a proposition to join them outfit.

-did you accept ?

-sure, I accepted.

he took me right in to introduce me

to the rest of the gang. I met them all.

Burton told me that he place 2.000 dollar bet

on Cheyenne Kent for me.

and if I should lose the event that

I was entered in, I stand to win 4000 dollars.

so I don't think that we have much to worry

about them, till I start to winning.

and then it may be too late for them

to get organized.

I don't know son.

strikes me, you better be mighty careful.

remember what happened to them

the other fellas.

this gang tough bunch

when somebody crosses them.

I don't want to see you

take down with snakebite.

you get anything out of the Spanish woman ?

-no, she wouldn't talk much.

she took me up to that shack on the hill

and introduced me to Cheyenne Kent.

she said, he was her brother.

and before I can get into

some understanding..

the whole gang jumped me and I had to

curve myself up fast and walking.

I didn't get you into this job

to get yourself killed.

-you got any ideas how they

work the snakebite proposition ?

not yet, but figuring from their past performances

I cant do much till the bronc riding.

that's one of the last events tomorrow.

so I will have till the end to figure it out.

and besides its going to take them sometime

to get wise that I am not gonna lose this rodeo.
