Port Larovie.
Fort Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince, specially transcribed tales of
the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier.
The saga of fighting men who rode the rim of empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince,
Captain of Cavalry.
Sergeant, this one's fresh-killed and fresh skin, sir.
How many buffalo we found this way?
We come on tan with this one.
The men are fanning out, looking for more.
They wouldn't be far away if there are more.
They're right dumb, aren't they, Captain?
The buffalo must be the dumbest critters they is.
Well, it couldn't call them crafty, but they're half blind.
Can't see trouble when they're heading right into it.
Though tenets habits back from the agency yet?
Yes, sir.
He brought the wagon, their loading carcasses in it back by the wall of it.
They better get a move on.
That middle cook in this heat.
Captain, you got the feeling there's something wrong?
Wrong?
I've seen engines kill buffalo before, lots of them.
But I've never seen them leave this much meat on them.
Maybe agency life is making them lazy, goers.
Maybe their bellies are too full.
Now you don't think that, Captain?
I sure don't.
I'm going to talk to Mr. Savage.
Oh, are all of them cut this way?
I think so.
I didn't rightly study him, though.
Then study him.
All of them.
Let me know what you find.
Yes, sir.
Oh, no, sir, the agency ain't glad to know we were bringing meat in.
That's him odd to you?
Oh, no, sir.
I never saw an Indian agency that couldn't use food.
Now they did I.
Oh, excuse me, sir.
All right, man.
You can move the wagon.
I'll pick up the rest of the carcasses.
Just a minute.
Yes, sir.
I'm going to take a look at these.
Hold on, man.
All right, man.
Carry on.
Yes, you can.
Move your ass.
Yes, sir.
You.
Oh, go.
Come on.
Yes, sir.
A lot of ways, sir.
Yes.
Yes, a lot of ways.
A lot of the agency.
About five miles.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah, a lot of ways.
How far to the agency?
About five miles.
That's right.
You went there, you got the wagon from the agent.
He said they'd be glad to get the meat.
That all he said, Mr. Symbitz?
I think so, sir.
Oh, one thing he said when we first wrote up.
Yes.
He asked us if we'd been engaged to battle.
Mm-hmm.
Said that early this morning,
it heard a lot of gunfire.
Yeah, but they did.
Yes, sir.
Yes, Sergeant?
I studied in carcasses all of them, like you said.
They're all cut the same way.
Skinned?
With the hump ribs cut away?
And that's all.
The men locate anymore?
No, sir.
Just the tin.
According to Mr. Symbitz,
the Indian agent claims he heard a lot of gunfire this morning.
Well, it was a clear morning.
The sound of carry, all right?
You saw the wagon tracks, Captain.
Yeah, I saw them.
Tell the men to get a move on with their loading, Sergeant.
Form a detail to haul the carcasses to the agency.
Yes, sir.
Put the fork of the raw hide and proceed back to Fort Laramay.
Yes, sir.
Captain Quence, what about the wagon tracks?
All right, Jenkins.
You see these tracks here?
The fresh ones?
From the wagon that was just here.
That's right.
Oh, over here.
There.
You see those?
Yes, sir.
They're not as fresh, but you can sure say them.
Our wagon wasn't over here, Captain.
And it wasn't down there where they're loading now.
Or over Yonder, where the last carcasses were found.
Well, that's right, sir.
But Indians don't hunt buffalo with wagons, Mr. Cyborgs.
And when they kill buffalo with guns or arrows, they don't just skin them.
Cut the hump ribs free and leave the rest to rot in the prairie.
From its horns to its chips, Indians use all the buffalo.
Do you think white men did this, Captain?
I'm thinking white men.
And if buffalo hunters are moving up to the high plains,
they've got trouble, Mr. Cyborgs.
That's reservation land, Captain.
That didn't make much matter to them, Major.
You seem very sure this is the work of buffalo hunters, not Indians.
If it's Indians, they'd change their whole tradition of hunting buffalo and killing them.
I tell you, these were fresh killed.
And the only meat gone was the hump ribs.
Well, that's the best meat.
You and me, yeah.
But the Indians eat everything in a buffalo, including...
I know, Lee. I know.
What they don't eat on the spot, they take with them, even the horns.
I always use the horns for tools, implements, don't they?
Well, always.
You still hope you're wrong, Lee.
It's a small hope, but it's there.
I'd like to be dead wrong.
But I saw too much.
And the Indian agent heard too much.
The battle?
Remember Texas?
You get a clear morning, you could hear those buffalo guns roaring for miles.
Enough of them? Sound like a pitch battle.
Wonder if they're still packing those old sharps' fifties. They're awful heavy.
You got to be. They shoot out slugs, 125 grains of powder, 600 grains of lead, sometimes more.
And the army struggles along with 450 grain slugs.
We're not killing buffalo.
No, we're not.
You know the position the army's in as well as I do.
White men are allowed on reservations to hunt, to mine, to anything.
We can warn them if we see them before they move into the Indian territory.
If we catch them there, we can run them off, bring them back to the guard house.
But we've got to see them first.
We may not see them, Major.
Until it's too late, we may not ever see them.
And then the army will be in another position.
What are their positions? Fight in the war?
All right.
Who are they? Who are they?
Don't you go roaming off now, Gov.
I want the wagon here so we can load it.
Oh, for hot you're sitting here.
Well, you said, here.
I hear.
Hey, soldier, let's hear the subtlest storm.
That's it, mister.
Much blind.
Well, now, you got yourself some knife there, ain't you?
Yeah, it was your eye, soldier.
Straight blade, huh?
Listen, it's got them curved, too.
They're nice.
You like curved knives better, do you?
I like what I need.
Sometimes I need a straight blade.
Sometimes I need them curved.
What kind of man's going on?
Sometimes I need them curved.
What kind of man's got a need for knives?
Straight blade or curved?
You're goading me, soldier.
Might be a fool to go to man sharpening a fine knife.
You would.
You'd be a plain fool.
There's a fine edge coming.
It's fine edge.
It's your business, cutting things.
Let me show you that curved blade, soldier.
Look at that.
Is that pretty the way it half circles?
You think it's pretty.
It fits your neck, soldier.
Right?
Close and neat, like.
Now, that's what I call pretty.
The fit of it.
Pretty enough.
Looks dull to me.
It gets dull, cutting.
Before I cut a man's throat with it, I'd see it was razor sharp.
I will.
I'll tend to that right now.
But I'll keep that straight blade handy.
In case I run into a soldier who wants to grow the body.
I knew a man like you once looked the same, acted the same, talks the same.
He was from Texas.
This man I knew.
A lot of good men from Texas.
This man, he was a Skinner.
A lot of good men from Skinner.
This man, though, he got himself killed.
How is a man going to get himself killed, Skinner Buffalo?
He made the mistake.
This Texas man going into the engine territory.
Went up into the engine nation.
Got himself killed.
You don't know nothing about Skinner.
I heard about this, man.
Your doom soldier.
Dumbs can be.
I ain't dumb enough to skin Buffalo in engine country.
I make fifty dollars a month of my keep.
With that I get fifty cents ahead on every Buffalo I skin.
You do it fast, Mr.
That's why I do it the more money I make.
I'm not sure I admire to see you at your work.
Yeah, you would.
I would.
I never seen a real good Skinner at work.
You mean?
You wanted to please a body.
You could tell him how you said about your work.
You thinking about turning Skinner?
Oh.
I don't think I got the gift for it.
Of course I'm a will and hand and all that.
How are you on thinking?
I'm not too good to tell the truth.
You might make a Skinner there.
The thinking part, what's done of it, that's a hundred job.
Old Jake Cuppy there.
He's got to find her.
Do the shooting.
Jake Cuppy.
In the settlers he's buying lead now in powder.
He's got a line on a big herd.
Where?
What do I care?
A big herd soldier.
He'll get me that.
Do the killing.
Well, I got to do it.
Trapes after him.
Skin him.
You was going to tell me how you manage that.
You see, you work with a good hunter.
That comes first.
Old Jake Cuppy.
He's good.
He shoots him right in the lights.
The lights, the lungs.
Now here I thought a good hunter take aim on his heart.
The heart?
No.
You hit one the heart.
Even square in the heart.
He's going to run all over on you for your dice.
Charging around, pouring the earth, carrying on.
Don't need a Skinner wasting himself moving all over.
I can see that.
You hit one in the light soldier.
He may take a step at one here, but no more than that.
He drops right on the spot.
Don't how I mean?
Skinner don't go to first one spot than another.
Well, he don't waste himself.
I understand.
And a gift you talk about.
I got a prepare.
I come on him.
At first I've written down the deli from the throat to the tear.
With a straight blade.
More than likely, I have.
Then I cut down each his legs.
Go round his head, clean up to his ears.
Listen here.
I figured the curve blade there.
And now myself, I don't bother with the rest of the head.
I right away set to roll the skin back.
Just first started.
Then I draw a rope tied down the little flap of his neck that's free.
And I make the other end fast of the team.
And I kick them up.
And pulling that way, shook that high right off in that animal.
And that's the size of it.
I tell you that's the size.
I just bet it is.
Fifty cents.
Every time I do it.
I skinned as high as fifty buffaloes a day.
Now that amounts to...
Well, old Jake Cuppie usually does that.
Caught him up for me.
I guess you think a lot of Mr. Cuppie, huh?
Well, I gotta think of him.
I like skin and soldier.
That's what I like.
You putting up here at Fort Laramaine Spau?
Tonight, anyway.
Maybe longer. What do you care?
As long as you're here, I just want to learn all I can from you, that's all.
It's a good life.
It's a lot of good men and skinners.
Thank you.
Your name is Jake Cuppie, Mr. Cuppie.
How's that?
Your name.
It's Jake Cuppie.
You don't want to steal up on him, man.
It's easy to catch him.
Might make him edgey.
I make you edgey, Mr. Cuppie.
I'm getting over it.
Sit down, long here.
Oh, yeah, move my life to the side.
You got your eye on it, too.
I've seen big fifties before.
I declare it opens a man's eyes, stopping off at arm and post.
First, tell me I'm welcome to put up with the enlisted men here,
and then the only ones that come poking around are officers.
That's all?
How come you know about big fifties?
Lieutenant, claim you've never seen one before.
Mr. Cybert's never saw a buffalo hunter before.
Well, he's seen one now.
What do you find him?
Like him.
So full of book learning.
We find all kinds, Mr.
Yeah, well, you found one there.
Now, he's up on all the lawn these parts.
I'm not talking about your army lawn.
I'm talking territory lawn.
I think that's how he said it.
Something about this time of year,
you can't shoot at what Lieutenant calls wildlife.
There's a lot about hunting.
First territorial assembly past it is called wildlife conservation.
Well, I had to clear it.
Here, I thought the army was shooting out fit.
It is, Mr.
Now, I'm going to tell you what I told the Lieutenant.
You're going to make laws out here.
You make him about the engines.
But you leave a white man to his work.
You hear?
Must be you've shot up all the herds in the South Plains.
Or I wouldn't take all the credit for that.
Others got the do come in.
I'm not at your capon.
Same way you're not at me.
You spoke your piece a while ago.
You're wrong, Mr.
That's another thing.
I'm almost never wrong.
There's treaty law that says you can't go into Indian territory.
That means all the land north of Fort Laramie.
I'm getting to my word about the army.
Ain't they doing any killing no more?
We're obliged to warn you.
If you do go in, we can't protect you.
I just don't recollect asking for any protection.
What's up, baby? It's Bretsky.
And I'm here to tell you that SpinQuest.com is giving out free sweet coins.
All you got to do is purchase a $10 coin pack.

They're going to give you the coins from a $30 coin pack.

A message from the DC Highway Safety Office
and the Metropolitan Police Department.
You ought to come along, Captain.
It's hunting for real Spartan, man.
I saw a semi-earth slaughter the other day.
That's real Spartan.
Now you hear me what I say.
I get paid on how many buffalo hides I ship.
That's fine.
Now then, folks in the East Aid Development are taste for buffalo meat.
All I got to do is get it to the railroad.
And that's fine.
I get paid for that, too.
I'd hate to have to fight a war on your account, mister.
Maybe I'd be on your side.
I'm good at shooting.
They'll tell you what.
You figure a price on engine hides.
Engine meat.
Maybe I will be on your side, Captain.
This is Kit Carson Country, isn't it, Captain, along the powder river?
He was up here, sure.
All along the bottoms of the powder.
It was black with buffalo then.
All the figures are still up this way, aren't they?
The Indians think so.
That's good enough for me.
And for Jake Cuppy, apparently.
You take men like Kit Carson.
He was a trapper, a hunter.
But you hear good things about him.
The Indians like you.
You're not comparing Carson to Cuppy.
Are you, Mr. Cyber?
No, sir. I'm trying to figure out the difference.
Both seem to be after the same things.
Seemed to be.
Maybe.
The early trappers, the hunters, the mountain men.
They learned a lot from the Indians.
Made friends with them, like you say.
But more, they came to hunt like Indians, aren't they?
You mean they hunted as they had need?
More that, they knew what conservation meant, even then.
But if you kill more than the herd can bear a young, you'll run out of quarry.
Man like Cuppy now, he likes a slaughter.
I hope we find him, Captain.
I hope we find him.
In time, Mr. Cyber.
The wagon tracks we're following, Captain.
What about them?
Looks like they stopped just ahead, sir, right at that line of trees.
Patrol!
Hold!
They could be in there, Captain.
Cuppy and Gorgon.
They could, Mr. Cyber.
Come on, Gorgon.
Yes, sir.
Sergeant Gorgon and I are going to move flat into the trees, Mr. Cyber.
The patrols stand to cover us.
Yes, sir.
We shot out of those trees and you move in.
Like, Captain.
All right, Sergeant.
Run and crops down to the brush.
Then we move flat in our bellies.
Yes, sir. Let's go.
Oh, the buddy is coming just to pay the charge.
Them high bed wagons like Gofie had.
They moved through here better than we do, Captain.
I can't see Cuppy making a camp here.
I can't see him coming in here over the Army's warning.
Just about to the trees, Gorgon.
I don't straighten till we're in him.
Yes, sir.
All right, now.
They're not as thick as they look, Captain.
All right.
Head there, Gorgon.
The wagon.
It's Gofie's wagon, all right.
Some hides here in the bed.
This team's gone.
I must be thinking to drag the hides back here.
From how far away I wonder.
I don't know.
I'm trying to figure him, Captain.
I can see they might hide the wagon so as we couldn't follow its tracks
but we can track horses who's just as well.
Not this way, Gorgon.
Green sacks, I'm sure.
If it's green sacks to their hooves, it muffles the sound.
It leaves almost no footprints.
They're smarter than they act, Captain.
All right, there, Gorgon.
Buffalo guns.
It's one sound, they can't muffle.
Come on, Sergeant.
We've reddened five miles at least, Captain,
and no sound to guide us for the last three.
Don't need sound with sign like that.
I had Mr. Cybert's.
That brown haze like dust?
It is dust.
It means a big herd.
Probably been stampeded.
There's bottom land just after that rise
where clear creek feeds into the powder.
We'll make for that.
Yes, sir.
At the gallop.
Oh!
Go!
Go!
Right out with me, Mr. Cybert, yes, sir.
Captain, look.
I'm looking, Mr. Cybert's.
I said it was a big herd.
But it's like a massacre.
It must be a thousand buffalo.
It is a massacre.
That much killing of anything without cause.
It is a massacre.
Well, Jake Cuppey, he couldn't have shot him all.
He could shoot enough with Gofey helping.
Luckily, the rest were stampeded to death.
It's slaughter. That's all you can call it at.
I don't see how it could happen so much of it.
Buffalo don't have much eyesight.
The count on smelling signs of danger.
Cuppey's trick is to shoot from far enough away
so they can't smell him.
We better...
We better go down there, Mr. Cybert's.
Cuppey, would he cause all this
and then hide out, Captain?
He might.
Known we'd be coming after him.
No one here in Gofey couldn't hope to haul him all out
before we got here.
You see any that's been skinned?
No, sir, not a one.
Captain, please.
Over here.
Well, no.
That explains a lot of things.
I come on, their horse is first down further.
They're shot full air, it's two.
Both of them are still warm, Captain.
They haven't been dead long.
Thousand dead buffalo.
Two dead men.
That's a lot of death.
A lot of waste.
The engines must still be around, Captain.
Yeah, they'd still be around.
Up in the hills, likely.
Those arrows, sir, they're in
Cuppey and Gofey and the horses, but not the buffalo.
Indians weren't after buffalo, Mr. Cybert's.
Come on, let's move out.
Captain?
We'll have to fight the Indians for this.
Not today.
Not this patrol.
But this isn't the last of the buffalo hunters.
Moral come all the time, and we'll fight wars over it.
We've got to just leave things this way.
As soon as we go, Mr. Cybert's, the sooner the Indians will move down
and get the meat and the hides.
Sometimes, all a man can do is turn, walk away.
