 Bud Kurtz and I drove to Camp Hood, unloaded our horses and started to check the open range. In three days, we ran across more than 50 brands, all legitimate. But on the fourth day... Cow folks are pretty busy, Kurtz. Yeah, cutting out a few calves over there. There's a branding fire and two men. We'll see us coming. Keep your eyes peeled. They may be all right, but if they aren't, one of them may throw a gun. Oh, boy. Howdy, Rangers. Howdy.
