The War Wagon Page #4

Look's like

Wild Horse's men are ready.

You think he's gonna fall

for that old dust routine?

You better hope so.

You got 100,000 ridin' on it.

Mr Pierce! - Yeah?

- We're bein' followed.

Looks like the whole Kiowa tribe.

Have the riders drop back!

Everybody pull back!

Hold it!

Let's get back to the wagon.

Well.

- Yeah.

What's goin' on back there?

- L don't know, Mr Pierce.

Looks like the boys are comin' back.

Lndians don't blow up bridges.

Knock on it!

There's a crossing upriver.

- That's three miles away.

We got no choice. Let's go.

Mr Pierce! Look!

Gimme a hand here.

That oughta hold 'em.

Let's go.

We're goin' the wrong way.

Here they come.

We're on the wrong road.

What the hell...

Let's get out of here!

- You're guarding this gold. - Not me!

He's right, Mr Pierce.

- You too?

L'm gonna dump it in this gulch!

Jump!

Look like you'll get your ranch back.

Get those barrel tops off.

That looks mighty pretty.

Give me a hand.

That's the last of it.

Well, get goin'. Take it easy.

Taw!

He says to keep away from our guns.

Oirty, double-crossin'...

You leave that be!

Know what you're always sayin'?

Lf we're gonna die,

let's have one last drink.

Ls that...?

- Yep!

After you, Taw.

Oon't mind if l do.

Get that wagon!

Lndian expert!

Why didn't you stop them?

How do l go about that?

Taw's right. They'll fight you.

Shut up, lndian!

- L know my people.

To them it's flour.

- What about the gold?

Lt's just food.

- Great!

L'm out 100,000, and 2,000 from Levi.

Where are you goin'?

Back to my people.

What am l supposed to do?

Open up a bakery?

With Pierce dead, it don't even pay

to kill you any more.

You owe me 100 a day and 500

when l used my gun. That's $1,200.

Now?

- Now!

L haven't got that kind of money.

All l own is standing right there.

L'll take it.

- My horse? - You're damn right.

You'd leave me out here

without a horse? Penniless?

That's your problem, partner.

What happened? - Well, we lost

part of it. Toss me those saddlebags.

We'll still meet...

in six months and divide it.

But you'll need something to live on.

Be careful where you spend it.

- We will.

Thanks, Taw.

When you catch up with Lomax,

tell him where you got it.

He's gonna be mad.

- Yeah.

How much? And what did you do with it?

- 100,000. l hid it. - Where?

L'll tell you in about six months.

- Six months!

L want it now.

- Lt wouldn't be very smart

to start flashing gold dust around

right after a robbery, would it?

What am l supposed to do till then?

- Well...

for one thing, you better

make damn sure l stay alive.

Thats a 24-hour-a-day job.

- That's your problem, partner.
