same thing I just let you wonder too will that be all Mr Slater I'll leave the bottle I'm just getting started another hung jury those rustlers were as good as free before the trial even started you know the judge didn't even bother to thank that jury I guess he thought they'd get enough thanks from the Kell's Brothers well what now I'm going to bring in so many wrestlers that get tired of turning them loose I didn't know there were that many there's plenty one even got on today's jury it'll be different next time I'll have so much evidence the jury will be afraid to let him go rustlers are going to try and kill you Dan I know that and with our luck it's just liable to happen [Music] Dan Dan look at me take a good look I'm not worth getting killed for if anybody gets killed Anita it

profession are you an ordained minister you're half right I was an ordained [Music] minister my father wanted me to be a builder but I had another star to follow the proudest day of my life was the day I was ordained then came forth Sunner in the war and that turned me away from the ministry why well how could I stand in front of a congregation and preach about love for my fellow man when all I saw was hate and I was part of it yes most soldiers have had to force themselves suppos to forget that but most haven't forgotten or forgiven you take Seth Nagel and his sons they carry their hate around like a flag well not everybody's like that oh perhaps not but all those good people tonight they wanted to see a fight in the dirt the north against the South the war all over again yeah yes there are some there'll always be some the rest of us just keep trying and praying for some miracle to help us Al long well I for one am out of Miracles I think I'll be leaving in the [Music] morning this isn't the same way we went to Virginia City the other day is it no no it's uh just a little longer but it's uh pretty comfy and since you're leaving I thought you should have a chance to see [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] it [Music] some Trapp has passed through this spring got drunk and set fire to it a it's too bad a beautiful place to build the people that lived here must have been awfully unhappy yes they were [Applause] [Music] strange looking building for a home that was all one big room it was but one room was [Music] [Applause] [Music] enough this was a [Music] church did you bring me out here deliberately it was just a little out of our way is it going to be rebuilt yes I think so what happened to the minister that was here oh he went on to another town another church I wish you luck with it Matthew you say you saw the destruction of war the the waste you see it right here but after War man rebuilds like this will be rebuilt sacrifice courage if we give up on ourselves we have no place to go well if we don't see each other again goodbye good luck to you morning Sam morning Ben how's it Mrs complaining she'll live to be 100 and still complain about all her miseries what can I do for you I want to send a telegram uh who's it go to the war office Washington [Music] [Applause] DC [Music] good morning Mr C morning morning what brings you out here that

past and it's close to town cartright that's your land you can run him off what is there about a church that it isn't the church it's the man that's building it the man that won that killing medal cartright CTI I commanded a company of men 250 and I sent 36 survivors back to their families 36 out of 250 and all for what for nothing we lost it all and you're asking me to let a man like that build a church facing my land let it stand there and remind me of what he and others like him did to all but a few of my men no no no Mr Nel there a lot of men in this town who fought against each other and that's same War now their neighbors their friends give it a chance to work make an effort I'll ask you one more time take back that land send him packing he stays and the church gets [Music] built n [Music] father I've asked very little of you the answer is no has it gone so far that you won't even let me ask before you say no what harm has he done you and I don't mean the Yankee Army I mean Matthew Rush he wore the uniform that's harm enough there are a thousand people in Virginia City who wore that uniform are you going to try and run them all out of Nevada only the one that got the top medal for killing and if he won't go he'll go one way or another he'll go P wagon all loaded got everything we need everything we need you stay in the house till we get back do you hear me

on killing this came to me in reply to a telegram I sent to the war department in Washington Ben I wish you wouldn't read that I want them to know subject citation to Lieutenant Matthew Rush Army of the United States on July 2nd 1863 at Chancellorsville an artillery barrage had forced both Union and Confederate forces to retreat leaving behind their wounded it was considered impossible to reenter the area Lieutenant Rush although severely wounded and with disregard for his own life entered set area again and again under heavy bombardment and pull to safety those wounded soldiers both Union and Confederate he was able to find he remained with them giving them Medical Aid and spiritual comfort Lieutenant Rush being an ordained minister until his own wounds rendered him unconscious for this heroic and unselfish act his grateful government as proud to war Lieutenant Matthew Rush the Congressional Medal of Honor Abraham Lincoln president of the United States why why didn't you tell me this all of it wouldn't have happened if I'd known why I'm Matthew Rush a human being my friend I want to be exed for what I am not for something I [Music] did it's over build your [Music] church [Music] thank you Ben well anything start work in the morning no it's no use why they're not going to give you any more problems you mean they'll tolerate me but now it's not the right foundation to start to build [Music] on Matthew how do you think I knew what was going on here [Music] today she came to me and told me she had no idea how you had won that [Music] medal it doesn't take too much to start a miracle just one step at a time [Music] Show Me What You're [Music] [Applause] [Music] Building [Music] [Music] shut up don't turn around don't turn around I'm taking your [Music] wallet hey mister stop right [Music] there you all right [Music] yeah where is he over [Music] there it's Jim Campbell he's dead did you know him yeah a little he he has a farm near the pondosa that's yours yeah he slugged me and grabbed it the wallet's worth more than what's in it [Music] $3 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] a of this carin's inquest is to learn all we can about the manner and cause of James Campbell's death now how well did you know him I talked to him once or twice he we had a drink together once when you saw him take something out out of Mr Travis's coat did you know who he was no it was too dark but you were certain he had a gun in his hand yes I could see that did you know that a robbery had been committed no not until later but there was one man lying on the ground and another one running away with a gun in his hand he ran out of the alley I shouted at him to stop and he started firing at me that's all Mr Kennedy thank you I'll try to make this as brief and painless as I can Mrs Campbell you and your husband bought a farm on red Spring Road about 2 years ago what is the condition of that farm now well we were making a go of it just barely everything we made had to be put back into it we were hoping that next year uh might be a better year on the 11th your husband came into town can you tell us why our mortgage payment was due Jim was going to try to get a loan for Mr Morgan at the bank against a crop of votes we were putting in did he have any hope of getting that loan he'd been turned down twice but he was going to try it is the finding of the coroner's jury that Mr Canada killed James Campbell in self-defense while we sympathize with the Widow it is clear that her husband died while committing a crime no charge will be made against Mr cned the inquest is adjourned this is K there's not much I can say well why don't you just say what there is to be said and be done with it I'm uh sorry you're right that's not much Miss Campbell you talk this letter I'll be glad to mail it for you if you'd like you do that Mr Canon okay Mr cardr I know this is a bad time of the year to be asking for time off but there's something I've got to do so I'm

of game he's playing with you candy but he's serious how do you know all this he's Jim's brother I asked him to come here to kill you I wrote a letter before the inquest all I could think of was that you'd killed Jim and I wasn't going to let you go unpunished there was a letter you picked up in mailed I didn't know you candy all right all right I understand why you did it lucky for you you had a gunman in a family Jim and I hadn't seen Jake and over 5 years I wasn't even sure I could reach him after you came to help us I realized I was only trying to hurt you to make up for losing Jim I wrote and tried to stop Jake I thought I reached him in time but I guess I didn't candy I'm sorry so am I you should have tried to kill me yourself Lisa he's more honest anyway I thought you ought to know about Jake I don't know where he is but at least now you can be on your guard oh so I can go hide in the bunk house until you call him off if you can find him no thanks candy he's going to kill you isn't that what you wanted isn't it no no not anymore but I don't expect you to believe me now [Music] thank you Mr Skully no one in town by that name Mrs Campbell well I'm sure you're quite right Mrs

Kennedy shot Jim down left you and the boy and all he had to do was come around here sweet talking and you changed your mind well sweet sister-in-law I ain't changed mine you were right to send for me

I was grieving so much for Jim I I didn't even know what I was doing I just wanted to get even as far as I'm concerned that's the only thing you ever did right I don't care how you changed your mind or why but that boyfriend of yours killed my brother no no Jake he killed Jim now it's his turn well you know she lost her husband You' got to consider the shock the Deep distress I I agree it was wrong but I can understand why she wrote the letter how do you feel about it I'm not sure it's a little strange when someone you think is a friend once you're dead well in a moment of anger yes but that's long gone I realize that now I I guess I was a little rough on her when she told me I'm sorry I am sorry I'm sorry I was angry come in come Hy Jake was here I tried to talk to him but he's

home by now why I left after you did uhuh we followed you out of town that's the best way to keep people from finding you leave after they start following [Music] you I don't think we're going to find him Jesse well not alive we ain't what kind of saves us of trouble you know for someone who keeps bragging about how good he is at tracking I don't see how you could lose a full-sized man out here and there's nothing it's a big desert there's Boulders out there and canyons Canyon sure are you shut up and stay out of this you ain't been no help neither well I told you I was sorry it's just I never

City and drop off this gun belt with a note and give his horse drink of water turn him loose how come he gets water and I don't cuz he's a dumb animal he ain't so dumb he's the one getting the water This Outlaw and harder work than working and for less money we ain't had a Payday since we started there's a big reason for that you two just can't remember to do what you told Jesse I've been thinking maybe if we rounded up them two bar T steers I lost old Ed give us a jobs back the man told you he didn't want to see the lacks of us in his part of the state again that's what I'm talking about what you're doing right now that's what I'm talking about you can't keep your minds on your work and here we got $5,000 practically in our hands and you talk about a two bit job and we've been

Sarah's got a he got to take care of a mother maybe what a possibility that way just decided that he didn't want to assume the double responsibility no I don't believe that he loves it too much there got to be something else so you think he's in some kind of trouble and you offered to help what' he say told me to mind my own business same thing you're going to tell me good night Joseph good night sah I kept telling myself not to come out here not to beg but I came anyway I didn't invite you in but I I'm just leaving at night well I I like riding at night waade we had so much where did it go wait what happened who knows Sarah I have to know you were going to marry me and now you're not and you can't just ride away and leave me wondering it's not fair you have to tell me why it's it's just gone Wade do you love me wait what is it what is [Music] it wait what's [Music] wrong [Music] wait just go Sarah I don't want want you just just [Music] go Wade left his resignation but no explanation and when an employee departs suddenly we check his accounts as a matter of course found a shortage of $5,000 well he's not a thief but I have to bring him back there was a mistake he could Straighten It Out Mr Barker if you'll sign this complaint I'll get a posy organized F let me go on ahead and see if I can find him this is the Law's business Joel I know that but I've trapped with him I know the country he'll head for Wind River around Three Peaks could save somebody from getting hurt what about it all right I'll give you three days and I'll come with a posy for both of you good enough hey tell Sarah not to worry I'll pick up what I need in town all right now open your eyes open open open open open oh I know it hurts but come on open again open that's it now once more that's well it's the occipital lobe of the brain that's the sight control that's located back here now on on you that's uh directly beneath this scar now your initial pain that was caused by pressure or a bone Splinter the injury healed and uh nature repaired anything that was really wrong now there's an old friend of mine and he's the dean of a Medical College in Boston I uh send him your symptoms by Telegram and he consult it some other doctors and they feel that a growth started on the occipital lobe in other words a tumor well now that has grown large enough to cause us trouble you mean there's something growing inside my head that's getting bigger old time yes and you can help me H do no I can't but a surgeon might surgeon he's going to get inside of my head yes ah well he' lift a piece of your skull and remove the growth suppose he misses You' be blind or dead that's a possibility but this is one of the oldest operations known to Medical Science Egyptian surgeons were doing it a thousand years ago now without this operation you will go blind without it the growth can also kill you well is it's just not for me Doc it's your only chance I said no here these will help some thanks hi Sarah hello Clyde is there anything I can do for you you know I uh thought it might be the other way around the news got out some way and everybody knows about the missing money they're starting to say some pretty terrible things about weade I just thought maybe you could use a friend thank you Clyde but I am just not listening to any gossip you know we weren't always such strangers you and me before Wade came whenever you needed a friend or help or just a shoulder to cry on while you always turn to me nothing's changed with me Sarah I just wanted you to know that thank you Clyde but when Joe brings back Wade everything will be all right I didn't know uh Joe was going out looking for Wade yes he he thinks he's up Three Peaks [Applause] right sir I'd like to have a word with you if I may I I'll be on my way sir see you house that's too bad about old way is it of course he's been acting kind of strange for some time now I guess you're going to make sure everybody knows about it too aren't you a fellow like Wade just won't change like that unless unless something happened to him well he certainly changed a lot yeah just wonder if it might not have something to do with that Ruck as he had with those those Trappers well I left before started but I guess it's possible wouldn't Hur done to talk to him boys over to Saloon said that they rode out here for El Creek looking for new territory for their trap lines you know they've known way an awfully long time yeah thought about that too we saw Wade's horse tied up in front of a doctor's office over at willan he didn't tell me anything about that well fell gets to feel in puny wants to see a doctor but if he figures a news he going to be bad probably wouldn't want to worry no body or hurt him so he'd might choose a doctor out of town Reon Wade would do that Canyon I thought we'd take a little ride and see what we could find out course can I go with you I just waiting here for some kind of word is terrible I I'd like to do something to help sure be glad to have you I'll go change it'll only take a minute I'll get Betty Perkins to take care of the [Music] store [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] come back come [Music] back [Applause] [Music] St [Music] bad hurt mean that little thing we had at Nevada trating no ma'am well you've known wa a long time have you ever known him to act irational ear what uh strange well manam we're all of us kind a strange well what she means is it way ever tear anything up without any reason or anything he tore up some but he generally had a reason like the time he got mad at that Hammerhead gray horse what'd he do nothing till he come too old wait he figured he could ride anything with hoofs and horide but you know that old gray she just pitched them right up there with the sparas come down in the rocks oh and he did some snoring when he woke up though he was just yelling like a cougar didn't hurt nobody though was he hurt badly oh he's bleeding on the back of his head yeah he said he had a headache like there was a beaver inside all chewing out few days he's fine that was just before he went to Virginia City well thank you [Music] [Music] hey wait wait it's me Joe cart ride hey you all right yeah what happened back there I found your stuff on the trail a horse spooked what you doing up here Joe I looking for you I told you leave me alone I know what you told me but you got some unfinished business back in Virginia City what kind of business money a $5,000 short at nevana trading 5 th oh know I put the money in the safe all of it every every sin of it okay I believe you but you're going to have to come back with me and straighten things out all right anything you say Joe go ah let's get started stand easy Joe real careful now drop your gun [Music] belt you mind putting that hammer down that's my gun you're holding he got a hair trigger good it'll discourage you from making any sudden moves come on Wade you don't want to shoot me I sure don't but I will before I let you take me back to Virginia City you know it doesn't make a lot of sense man steals $5,000 and runs he covers his Trail the trail was clear and easy to follow even dropped your canteen why won't you go back with me come night I'm riding out of here I'll take your horse over the peak somewhere over there by the time you find him I'll be long gone from here a man travels at night stays in the shade keeps his eyes almost closed you got something wrong with your eyes don't you there's nothing wrong with my eyes I got a bandana in my hand what color is it what's the difference I think you're blind what color is it that's blue I don't have a bandana in my hand wait I've got your broken glasses what' the doctor say what doctor the one you want to see in Willow Bend about your eyes has nothing wrong with my eyes Joe I got over that pass at night in the dark pulling two horses going to be pretty rough it's a narrow ledge that don't wear me a bit it might bother you horse one slip and you get whistle Dixie all the way to the end before you hit the bottom looks like you're losing your shade going to have to move pretty soon the sun's going to be in your eyes you you think that makes a difference I know it does well if you believe that didn't try getting away I'll I'll give you four to one I'll drop you right in the tracks it's a common thing fear of the surgeon scalpel particularly when the operation involves the brain after all that's the center of it everything we are everything we can be yeah afraid I'd have my doubt I'd be scared to death I think I would too and I know that the operation has been done successfully many many times is it the only hope well I'm not an expert I'm not a brain surgeon I'm just a country doctor doing the best he can but in my opinion it's his only hope for a normal life we'll talk to him get him to change his mind I hope so and soon cuz time is a very important factor how much time has he got well only a guess judging from the change in this condition between his first and second visit here it would indicate that the pressure of the growth has increased rapidly he's a changed man well that's understandable at first the pain was mild and now it's almost unbearable blazing headaches and irrational rage and he's lashing out like a like a wounded animal doc when one of them things hits him like that does he know what he's doing I doubt it that's why I'm afraid that he might hurt himself or somebody else [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm giving Sarah a chance to be free she's got a mother to take care of she don't don't need no invid husband she loves you I don't want her to pity me I don't want her to spend her life savings on a doctor who might not be able to help me you ever notice how people look at a blind man yeah I've noticed I never thought about it till I realized I was going blind myself imagine me working at The Trading Post can't even see the figures on The Ledges or working the story can't even see the shelves they shoot horses that break a leg what I got worse than a broken leg why don't you shut up wait I'm tired of hearing you feel sorry for yourself hold it I'll shoot you don't want to shoot me you want to shoot yourself where you going back to Virginia City I'm was to my time [Music]
