:42:00
"The belligerent old scalp-taker "
:42:02
harangued his listeners with a brazen speech
:42:04
"in which imminent
hostilities were threatened.
:42:06
"The army can do nothing until
the murdering redskins have broken out,
:42:09
"and the young bucks have
burned a dozen ranches,
:42:11
and slaughtered a score
of women and children-
:42:13
- " general miles' orders are quite specific.
:42:15
To offer protection, and
maintain control and discipline.
:42:18
So we're all just expected to sit here?
:42:28
In the meantime,
:42:30
you are directed not to force
any issue that might result in an outbreak.
:42:33
Discretion, mr. Royer.
:42:35
If you and the other civilian
authorities had demonstrated as much,
:42:38
the seventh would not be
here now to enforce order.
:43:23
What's going on?
:43:25
Word is sitting bull's headed this
way to join the renegades in the badlands.
:43:30
We'll be ready for him.
:43:34
I caution you against any supply trips
:43:36
through standing rock in the
next few days, mr. Wheeler.
:43:38
Why is that?
:43:39
General miles has authorized
sitting bull's arrest.
:43:42
Wouldn't it be better
to wait till ration day?
:43:44
The fewer of his people around,
less cause there'll be for a disagreement.
:43:48
Sitting bull's actions require
his immediate apprehension.
:43:51
Well, could be just rumor.
:43:54
Whatever the people of
the press are telling you.
:43:56
I provide you this information
with regard to your own safety, mr. Wheeler.
:43:59
What you wish to do with
it is not my concern.
