In the process, most of the Two-Bar calves had disappeared under Boxed M and CP brands. “Mostly CP,” Ball advised. “The Pinder boys are mighty mean. They rode with Quantrill, an’ folks say Rollie rode with the James boys some. ” At daybreak, with three unbranded mules to carry the supplies, I started for Hattan’s, circling wide around so that I could come into the trail to town from the side opposite the Two-Bar.

They had left a wounded man to burn. They had killed a man who wanted only peace, the right to enjoy the ranch he had built from nothing. He had been an old man, strong for his years, but with a weariness on him and the need for quiet evenings and brisk, cool mornings, and a chair on a porch. And that old man had died in the falling timbers of his burning home, his body twisted with the pain of bullet wounds. At the ranch we told our story to Benaras, and as he listened his hard old face stiffened with anger.
It was a good ranch, with several waterholes other than the stream along the Wash, and with subirrigation over against the mountains. Only to the west were there ranches, and only from the west could other cattle get into the area to mingle with the Two-Bar herd. Ball’s calves had largely been rustled by the large outfits, and if we expected to prosper we must rid ourselves of the stock we had and get some young stuff. The cattle we had would never be in any better shape, but from now on would grow older and tougher.
