The Telegraph Trail

Look Indians, get that team out of here.

Hey John it's there old pal Josie out

in the Clear Creek Section..

Yeah, well tell him hello for me.

He's in trouble.

What?

What else Tippy?

Give us the rest.

There aren't any.

Wait, there he is.

Outrages

in this section, all

due to white man name?

Something's wrong.

Come on Jonsey.

I can't get him.

Those red Devils.

Oh, it's no use.

They've either cut the wires or-

Keep at it Tippy, keep at it.

You are wise Jai Wolf.

Them singing wires would call the soldiers

and that would mean the finish for your braves.

Oh Gus Lynch good friend to Red man.

- I tell you only what is good for Jai Wolf

and his people.

It's a stagecoach I mustn't be seen here.

Uncle Zeke, look.

What's happened?

Them infernal Redskins again.

Well, it's lucky for them they left for I showed up.

No, no,

Don't go caring on, don't .

Remember, there's nothing to worry about

when you're with your uncle Zeke.

You know, if you're out here a while,

you'll take these things just as calm as I do.

If you see my pals give 'em these.

Come on Alice.

We'll send some men back from town.

You've Got to let me go, sir.

Is the final link necessary to complete the telegraph?

Well I'd take an army to push the line

through successfully.

Well there's been one Indian raid

after another out there.

That's true, sir

but it's clear from Jones's message

that some white man has been behind these attacks.

In that case one man could accomplish more

than an army.

- Well Trent, if you're set on going all right,

but it's a mighty dangerous job to tackle alone.

Sir, you're right.

Don't let him go along.

He needs me to look after him.

You want him along Trent?

All of you can spare him.

You see Jonsey was our pal and-

All right, guys, go ahead.

And good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you captain.

Well, it's a rotten dirty outrage

and high time something was being done about it

- I say you are right Lee but what can I do?

You can lower your prices.

Why I'm only charging now

what Links makes me pay for bringing the goods in?

Then you have to deal with someone else.

Oh wait, I tried then what happened?

Them Redskins ransacked everyone

even before they got here.

I don't know how he does it.

But you all know that Lynch is the only man

who can get the stuff through.

Between Indian raids

and the interest rates reflecting the .

- There's only one thing that will ever save us

and that's the telegraph.

- Yeah, if it's ever completed we'll gave plenty

of protection.

Right again Lee.

The telegraph would be a godsend to us all

but I don't see any use counting on that.

No not as long as we're in the hands

of that thievin murderer Lynch.

What do you mean by that?

Well.

You're always bragging Lynch,

but you ain't never lifted a finger

to help the telegraph.

- Hmm, I suppose you'll be saying next time

I'm responsible for these Indian attacks.

It wouldn't surprise me any if you were.

Why you old fool if it wasn't for me

you'd all starve to death.

My freighters are the only ones that can come

through with supplies.

Sure they are.

That's why you want to keep the telegraph out.

But the Telegraph's coming in,

and it will put a stop to your dirty free bootin' power.

- Don't get riled Gus, he's don't mean nothing

Listen you old caucus.

You've been spreading too much talk about me lately.

And if there's any more of it I'll...

- Oh uncle Zeke, has the mail stage arrived yet.

No, it hasn't honey

Good day Miss Alice.

Ain't it time you told your niece

about our good luck?

- Well will you see I, I've been, I haven't had time.

I've been a little busy.

What are you waiting for?

Go on.

Alice, I've got some news for you.

What is it uncle Zeke?

Well, it's about Gus Lynch.

You know, he's the richest

and most powerful man around here

and he wants to marry you.

Why uncle Zeke?

Have you told her Zeke?

Well, I just-

Yes, he has Mr. Lynch.

Well, how about setting the date?

Well, I hardly know what to say.

I'm terribly flattered.

And, what's wrong?

Is there some reason that-

- Well, it's hard to explain you say, the fact is,

Yes.

I'm engaged to another.

Engaged?

Well, why didn't you tell me about this?

- Well, I was afraid you wouldn't approve of him.

Who is this man?

Yes, who is he?

I don't think you know him, he's...

Here's his picture.

He's the one in the middle.

An army man?

How did this happen?

Why, he forced me into it.

That's it he forced me to become engaged.

- Well, don't worry about that, forget him.

Oh, I wouldn't dare.

I'm deathly afraid of him.

Why when I even think of what he might do if-

- Well, if that's all that's holding you back,

don't you be a worrying I'll tender that vermont.

Oh, but you don't know him.

Why he wants shot a man, with mine my instep.

Oh, he's terribly jealous.

Where is this killer?

I wish I could be sure.

He's swore, he'd follow me out here.

For all I know he may be on his way now.

- Well if this fool scout shows up around here,

I won't leave enough of his carcass

to make coyote bait.

Excuse me, please.

Wow, I wonder where everybody is.

I know that I'll be happy

if I can find the old cracker bell.

Talk of the devil.

Why my darling?

What a surprise.

You've come for me.

Oh, I missed so.

I haven't been able to sleep ever since I left you.

I was really tempted to pack up my things

and go right back to you.

I didn't realize how much we meant to each other

until we were separated.

Please don't be angry with me, dear.

I've missed you terribly.

Just a minute.

- Oh, I know, we promised to keep it a secret

but I've missed you so

I know you you murderer

but this time you've got Gus Lynch to deal with.

Keep that hands off my girl.

- Shut up you wind bag or I'll pop you one on the nose.

Leave him alone.

Let's get out of this mad hole.

You double crossing Romeo.
