Speaker 7 (04:18):
Name is Charlie, good American name, Charlie.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
You can't argue that with him.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
Gors, come on, make you make a camp from here.
He's sleeping, Captain, he's bound to.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
He lost a lot of blood.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Would you watch you eat?
Speaker 9 (04:47):
You're getting back his strength of No time did he
do any talking. Mostly he ate and smile. He kept
asking everyone to call him Charlie.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
Good American name, Charlie. What do you think think about him?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Captain?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
There's not much too think about him, mister Savage. Takes
pain well, he smiles, he eats a lot.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
I mean the way he rode right up to our
camp alone, rode right past the pickets without any fear
at all.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Apparently, and got shot for his trouble.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
Yes, wouldn't you think he'd expect that, Captain, I'd.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Expect it, you would. Maybe Charlie's different. Tinkerm and pre boss.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
They both swear he made no move to fire back,
just rode like the devil for the woods.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
You redoubled the pickets, mister Savage, Yes? Or I did?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I guess you think maybe Charlie wasn't alone. I told
you there's not much to think about Charlie right now.
If he wanted more than food and a good drink
of water. He hasn't said he can't take the chance.
He's alone. The turniquets stopped the bleeding, and maybe we'll
know more about Charlie tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You're going to cut the bullet out tomorrow, Captain. I'm
going to cut at least three of them out free Captain.
But Tinkerman preboss said Charlie was wounded before he got here.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Mister Saberts, you'll come ask question, captain.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
How do you feel this morning? Charlie?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Charlie, feel fine?
Speaker 8 (06:27):

Speaker 8 (06:44):

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Know what it is like?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Water?
Speaker 5 (06:48):

Speaker 7 (06:51):
Whiskey like firewater, Just like it. You drink firewater, burn
from mouth, all down to belly, make cough, make sick,
make bad head.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I like you've got three, maybe four bullets in that leg.
If I don't cut him out, you'll die, Charlie. If
I do, it'll hurt bad. You want whiskey for the hurt?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
You can have it leg very bad.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
That is, here's the water you ask for captain brought
it right from the fire. Thanks course, you're gonna bind
him fast, and you want me to hold him.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
And that's up to Charlie.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
You'll bring whiskey.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Now, where am I gonna get whiskey?
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Leg?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Very bad?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Over there? Go use in my bedroll.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yes, I suppose I got to take a couple of
gulps for you. Figure it's safe to drink, and you
got bad leg. Only bad thing I got is my temper.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Give Charlie whiskey. Charlie takes for pain.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
One he eat no dummies.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Go on, Charlie, drink it down. Let me know when
the leg doesn't hurt anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Oh, white captain, good friend, Bring Charlie whiskey.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Mark the day, Charlie. It's the last whiskey you'll get
from this white man. I'll need more boiling water. Gohous mass.
Sergeant's got another pot going.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Oh very good to have leg, very bad.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Never mind the talk. Just drink.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You sure ain't gonna need no setting on Captain lapping
it down. At that rate, he'll be helpless inside of
five minutes.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I'm counting on that. Let's go outside, even be.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I sure never seen the lock of him.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
He's not cutting any pattern nine o either.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That leg's bad just overnight. It's real bad. He say,
who shot him?
Speaker 7 (09:02):
For?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
We did?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
There's a long list of things he's not said. Time
for tac with him later.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's a quarter whiskey, Captain.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
It was a quarter whiskey, Gorse. Well you you ready
for surgery?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You got a mind for it, Sir.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
I got a mind, but not much stomach for it.
And let's get it over with Gorse. The runners still around,
(09:49):
mister Sabbats, Yes, sir, he's having something to eat, Captain.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
When he's through that, so he gets his rest.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
He was asking about a fresh horser.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
You won't need one. There's no replied to this message.
Time he's ready to move again. Both him and his
horse will be rested.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Do we have new order, sir?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Major Daggett'll be here tomorrow with a platoon from G
Company ware to wait for the rendezvous.
Speaker 9 (10:18):
Well, the message says to keep Pete Hazen here till
the major arrives.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Yes, and I do that. If I'd laid an eye
on beat in a month, I thought he was scouting
up in the Big Horn country. Last I heard he was.
I guess the major's counting on reports from that area.
Maybe we'll be moving up that way.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
They're talking about Charlie Kat. We're not going to find
out sitting in a tent, mister Sabat, that's a crazy
fool Sergeant.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yes, sir, but what happened too quick? Captain? I couldn't
stop him.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
The man can't walk yet. How could it happen too quick?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
First I saw him, he'd crawl most down of the creek.
His horse was tethered down there with the others, and
you saw the rest on me.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
He just propelled himself up on that horse and from
the off side the right side.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Indians don't know any better, and now to do their horses,
they always mounted in the right side.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You want me to go after him, Captain, No need,
he's coming back, I swear, Captain. He's putting on a
show for him.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Yeah, they ride all over a horse, on his neck,
his sides, under his belly.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Either of you feel.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Like much of a horseman now with one bad leg.
You don't think he got hold of another jug of whiskey, Sir.
I'll break the man who gave it to him if
he did, Captain. Yes, he's played hisself out.
Speaker 7 (11:51):

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Good rider, Yes, Charlie, stupid fool leg, very bad.
Speaker 7 (11:57):

break it off and throw it away if you're of
a mind.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Leg, very bad, good friend. Bring Charlie whiskey.
Speaker 5 (12:07):

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Slide off that pony. I want to talk to you.
Speaker 7 (12:34):

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Mind his horse, sergeant, Yes, mister Sibert, see the camp's
made ready for Major Tagget's arrival.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yes, you were kicking that bad leg around real free.
Can you bear weight on it as far as my tent?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Whiskey intent you want two bad legs, Charlie walk you're happier,
then let me see that leg.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Charlie, do bad thing to ride?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
It should have killed you, but you're such a contrary
cuss it looks fine, Charlie. It's got no right to.
But your leg looks fine. Charlie. Who shot you before
(13:39):
we did?
Speaker 7 (13:42):
White settler? He shoot two three times? Why Charlie tries
steel hosses?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
You want to be shot for that? You ever lived
on a reservation one time?
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Short time, Charlie. Not like reservation, nothing can do. Charlie
likes steal horses.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
You steal horses all alone?
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Do you sometime alone, sometime with Cheyenne? Brave Charlie find horses,
Tell others they come, we steal.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That makes you Cheyenne scout.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Then Charlie likes steel horses also, hunt.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
You're not Cheyenne, Charlie.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
White captain can tell Charlie not Cheyenne.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
You look more like a crow to me.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Yes, crow, Charlie, little bear, all blood crow, sue Cheyanne,
rapper hole all drive crow people from land of Father,
from Big Horn. Charlie like Bighorn. Charlie lived there even
with Cheyenne.
Speaker 5 (14:47):

Speaker 7 (14:50):
Reservation, just Cheyenne. Brave and Charlie like steal horses. Hunt.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
You like to kill white men.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Charlie not kill white man, not ever kill white man.
Charlie friend.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Got name from white man, white white man.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Many years, many years when Charlie lived with on people.
White men come for hunt furs, teach Charlie speak tongue
of white man. Then he die. Charlie take name a friend.
M You let Charlie go back Big Horn hunt steal horses.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
If you stole horses, you broke the law.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
You put Charlie reservation.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I might might put you in jail too, and might
do almost anything with you. Charlie said, give you a whiskey.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
How the last word we had from Hazen the Big
Horn was as peaceful as Sunday Church. Now, all through
these valleys here settlers are complaining of increasing Indian.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Raids for horses, major for horses.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Until the last few days runners are reporting a band
of marauding Cheyenne, burning, massacring as.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
They go through here. You say, long stinking water.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
That's the Shoshonee River, Captain.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
The Indians call it stinking water.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, we're going there. Doesn't much matter what the Indians call.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
It might matter major. How's that we can't wait for
Pete Hazen. If there's a Cheyenne camp in the Big Horn.
We'll need a scout to find it.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Charlie Little Bears an Indian.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
He can't pick a trail to the Shoshonee River, but
he'll sure no one to stinking Water.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
From what you said, this must be his band of
cheyenn who's responsible for the killing along the stinking water.
He's not about to lead you against his front end.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Charlie's a crow. I've never heard a crow boast about
his scalps.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
You're saying then, that you trust Charlie.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I'm counting on him being a crow, that's all major.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Just look at that Charlie little Bear Captain, smiling, riding easy.
You think he was out on a happy hunting party.

far by myself.

Captain?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
There's not much too think about him, mister Savage. Takes
pain well, he smiles, he eats a lot.
Speaker 9 (05:07):
I mean the way he rode right up to our
camp alone, rode right past the pickets without any fear
at all.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Apparently, and got shot for his trouble.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
Yes, wouldn't you think he'd expect that, Captain, I'd.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Expect it, you would. Maybe Charlie's different. Tinkerm and pre boss.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
They both swear he made no move to fire back,
just rode like the devil for the woods.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
You redoubled the pickets, mister Savage, Yes? Or I did?
Speaker 6 (05:30):
I guess you think maybe Charlie wasn't alone. I told
you there's not much to think about Charlie right now.
If he wanted more than food and a good drink
of water. He hasn't said he can't take the chance.
He's alone. The turniquets stopped the bleeding, and maybe we'll
know more about Charlie tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
You're going to cut the bullet out tomorrow, Captain. I'm
going to cut at least three of them out free Captain.
But Tinkerman preboss said Charlie was wounded before he got here.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Mister Saberts, you'll come ask question, captain.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
How do you feel this morning? Charlie?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Charlie, feel fine?
Speaker 8 (06:27):
Leg?
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Feel bad?
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah? I bet it does all right? If I look
at it, you look mm hmm. Charlie. Do you drink whiskey?
Speaker 8 (06:44):
Whiskey?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Know what it is like?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Water?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Like firewater?
Speaker 7 (06:51):
Whiskey like firewater, Just like it. You drink firewater, burn
from mouth, all down to belly, make cough, make sick,
make bad head.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I like you've got three, maybe four bullets in that leg.
If I don't cut him out, you'll die, Charlie. If
I do, it'll hurt bad. You want whiskey for the hurt?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
You can have it leg very bad.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
That is, here's the water you ask for captain brought
it right from the fire. Thanks course, you're gonna bind
him fast, and you want me to hold him.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
And that's up to Charlie.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
You'll bring whiskey.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Now, where am I gonna get whiskey?
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Leg?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Very bad?
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Over there? Go use in my bedroll.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Yes, I suppose I got to take a couple of
gulps for you. Figure it's safe to drink, and you
got bad leg. Only bad thing I got is my temper.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Give Charlie whiskey. Charlie takes for pain.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
One he eat no dummies.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Go on, Charlie, drink it down. Let me know when
the leg doesn't hurt anymore.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Oh, white captain, good friend, Bring Charlie whiskey.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Mark the day, Charlie. It's the last whiskey you'll get
from this white man. I'll need more boiling water. Gohous mass.
Sergeant's got another pot going.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Oh very good to have leg, very bad.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Never mind the talk. Just drink.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You sure ain't gonna need no setting on Captain lapping
it down. At that rate, he'll be helpless inside of
five minutes.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I'm counting on that. Let's go outside, even be.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
I sure never seen the lock of him.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
He's not cutting any pattern nine o either.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That leg's bad just overnight. It's real bad. He say,
who shot him?
Speaker 7 (09:02):
For?
Speaker 8 (09:02):
We did?
Speaker 5 (09:03):
There's a long list of things he's not said. Time
for tac with him later.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's a quarter whiskey, Captain.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
It was a quarter whiskey, Gorse. Well you you ready
for surgery?
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You got a mind for it, Sir.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
I got a mind, but not much stomach for it.
And let's get it over with Gorse. The runners still around,
(09:49):
mister Sabbats, Yes, sir, he's having something to eat, Captain.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
When he's through that, so he gets his rest.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
He was asking about a fresh horser.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
You won't need one. There's no replied to this message.
Time he's ready to move again. Both him and his
horse will be rested.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Do we have new order, sir?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Major Daggett'll be here tomorrow with a platoon from G
Company ware to wait for the rendezvous.
Speaker 9 (10:18):
Well, the message says to keep Pete Hazen here till
the major arrives.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Yes, and I do that. If I'd laid an eye
on beat in a month, I thought he was scouting
up in the Big Horn country. Last I heard he was.
I guess the major's counting on reports from that area.
Maybe we'll be moving up that way.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
They're talking about Charlie Kat. We're not going to find
out sitting in a tent, mister Sabat, that's a crazy
fool Sergeant.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yes, sir, but what happened too quick? Captain? I couldn't
stop him.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
The man can't walk yet. How could it happen too quick?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
First I saw him, he'd crawl most down of the creek.
His horse was tethered down there with the others, and
you saw the rest on me.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
He just propelled himself up on that horse and from
the off side the right side.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Indians don't know any better, and now to do their horses,
they always mounted in the right side.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You want me to go after him, Captain, No need,
he's coming back, I swear, Captain. He's putting on a
show for him.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Yeah, they ride all over a horse, on his neck,
his sides, under his belly.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Either of you feel.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Like much of a horseman now with one bad leg.
You don't think he got hold of another jug of whiskey, Sir.
I'll break the man who gave it to him if
he did, Captain. Yes, he's played hisself out.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Charlie.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Good rider, Yes, Charlie, stupid fool leg, very bad.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
White captain, sorry leg, very.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Bad legs a sieve, but at your leg you can
break it off and throw it away if you're of
a mind.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Leg, very bad, good friend. Bring Charlie whiskey.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I told you, Charlie, that's the last whiskey you'd get
from me.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Charlie, right, very good, Charlie, show white man Indian trick.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Uh no whiskey, No whiskey.
Speaker 7 (12:20):
You other men you have whiskey, not me, Charlie.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, and don't look at me with your sore leg.
I'll give you nothing.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
Poor Charlie, hurt, very bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Slide off that pony. I want to talk to you.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
Oh, leg so bad?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Get off.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Mind his horse, sergeant, Yes, mister Sibert, see the camp's
made ready for Major Tagget's arrival.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Yes, you were kicking that bad leg around real free.
Can you bear weight on it as far as my tent?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Whiskey intent you want two bad legs, Charlie walk you're happier,
then let me see that leg.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Charlie, do bad thing to ride?
Speaker 5 (13:19):
It should have killed you, but you're such a contrary
cuss it looks fine, Charlie. It's got no right to.
But your leg looks fine. Charlie. Who shot you before
(13:39):
we did?
Speaker 7 (13:42):
White settler? He shoot two three times? Why Charlie tries
steel hosses?
Speaker 5 (13:48):
You want to be shot for that? You ever lived
on a reservation one time?
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Short time, Charlie. Not like reservation, nothing can do. Charlie
likes steal horses.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
You steal horses all alone?
Speaker 7 (14:04):
Do you sometime alone, sometime with Cheyenne? Brave Charlie find horses,
Tell others they come, we steal.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That makes you Cheyenne scout.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Then Charlie likes steel horses also, hunt.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
You're not Cheyenne, Charlie.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
White captain can tell Charlie not Cheyenne.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
You look more like a crow to me.
Speaker 7 (14:28):
Yes, crow, Charlie, little bear, all blood crow, sue Cheyanne,
rapper hole all drive crow people from land of Father,
from Big Horn. Charlie like Bighorn. Charlie lived there even
with Cheyenne.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
There's no Cheyenne reservation in the Big Horn, no.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Reservation, just Cheyenne. Brave and Charlie like steal horses. Hunt.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
You like to kill white men.
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Charlie not kill white man, not ever kill white man.
Charlie friend.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Got name from white man, white white man.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
Many years, many years when Charlie lived with on people.
White men come for hunt furs, teach Charlie speak tongue
of white man. Then he die. Charlie take name a friend.
M You let Charlie go back Big Horn hunt steal horses.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
If you stole horses, you broke the law.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
You put Charlie reservation.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
I might might put you in jail too, and might
do almost anything with you. Charlie said, give you a whiskey.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
How the last word we had from Hazen the Big
Horn was as peaceful as Sunday Church. Now, all through
these valleys here settlers are complaining of increasing Indian.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
Raids for horses, major for horses.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Until the last few days runners are reporting a band
of marauding Cheyenne, burning, massacring as.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
They go through here. You say, long stinking water.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
That's the Shoshonee River, Captain.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
The Indians call it stinking water.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Well, we're going there. Doesn't much matter what the Indians call.
Speaker 6 (16:32):
It might matter major. How's that we can't wait for
Pete Hazen. If there's a Cheyenne camp in the Big Horn.
We'll need a scout to find it.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Charlie Little Bears an Indian.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
He can't pick a trail to the Shoshonee River, but
he'll sure no one to stinking Water.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
From what you said, this must be his band of
cheyenn who's responsible for the killing along the stinking water.
He's not about to lead you against his front end.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Charlie's a crow. I've never heard a crow boast about
his scalps.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
You're saying then, that you trust Charlie.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I'm counting on him being a crow, that's all major.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Just look at that Charlie little Bear Captain, smiling, riding easy.
You think he was out on a happy hunting party.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
I'm looking at him.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You call him a scalp. I could have got assist
far by myself.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You know where the Cheyenne camp is Gorse, no, sir, Well,
I don't either, but Charlie does. I'm hoping he'll lead
us there. This because you fixed his leg, Captain, just
because Charlie doesn't like killing. Sergeant Charlie Head Captain, he

stock run off.
