SIX CUN HEROES

AIR FIGHTi^ By Walter Farmer l>‘-

1 v

HARVEY CROWN, owner of the Crownranch, rode beside his foreman, Jeff

Lariar, and ahead of the tanned-skin, gun-

toting waddies who made up part of his crew.

“We’ll visit those thieving nesters one at

a time, and we’ll give them all fair warning

to leave the county in one week. After that,

if they’re not gone, we’ll use our guns,”

asserted Harvey. Crown.

“We’re all with, you, Mr. Crown,” agreed

Jeff. His words were sincere, not just the

fawning agreement of some employees toward

the boss. Jeff had great admiration and respect

for Harvey Crown. At thirty, Crown was the

youngest ranch owner in all the Silver River

territory. He was, in fact, fifteen years young-

er than his foreman, Jeff Lariar. But, in the

ten years since his father had died, leaving

him in charge of the Crown cattle empire,

young Harvey Crown had shown himself to

be an able and fair administrator—and a fear-

less man.

A sample of his courage could be seen in

his riding out now, at the head of his men,

to give the warning to the nesters. Many rich

ranchers, under the same circumstances, would

have sent hired gunslicks out to do the dirty

work for them. Harvey Crown was not like

that. He was ready to meet any problem, face

to face.

The problem now, was that many of the

homesteaders who had staked out little farms

at the edges of the sprawling Crown spread

were actually small-time rustlers. Many were

shiftless drifters who did not hesitate to

butcher a Crown brand beef whenever they

needed meat to eat or to sell.

Harvey Crown had faced up to several of

these on the day’s itinerary, giving them the

week’s warning, and all had cringed and lied

before his straightforward gaze. More than

one had started packing after he left.

Then Crown and his men came to the gate

before Bill Kendrick’s plain pine cottage.

Kendrick had only a few acres. His fences

were neat. His cottage, though cheap, was in

good condition. Flowers grew near the door.

Kendrick owned nine cows, two pigs and a

dozen ’chickens. He worked his land and raised

vegetables. He had come from the east with

his pretty wife to try to improve his lot in

the west, and he had worked hard and honestly

to make a living from the small portion of

land that was legally his by the laws of the

United States government. Long hours of

work with the hoe, rake and handplow had

given him bulging shoulder muscles and a

deep Chest.

Harvey Crown reined up his horse before

the gate and called out, “Hello, the house!”

Bill Kendrick came out of the cottage door,

wiping his hand across his lips. “Hello,” he

responded.

Crown made his speech. “You nesters have

been stealing cattle. The law has done nothing

about it. So I’m giving you warning right now.

You’ve got a week to clear out. Otherwise,

we’ll clear you out!”

Bill Kendrick stepped out of the door and

into his yard, his big farmer boots moving

slowly toward the gate. He faced squarely upto the ranch owner and said, "Mr. Crown, I’m

not a thief nor a liar. I have never touched

your cattle. I’m a peaceful man, trying to

make a living on land that is dutifully mine.

You and your dozen men might as well shoot

me down right now, because you are not going

to scare me away. And, since you have called

me a thief, I’Ll punch you right in the nose

if you dare to get off your horse and walk

into this yard!”

Jeff Lariar whipped out his Colt and trained

it on Bill Kendrick, but Harvey Crown quietly

order him, “Drop your gun, Jeff. Drop it in

the dust. That goes for the rest of you men,

too!” They obeyed as Harvey quietly un-

buckled his own gun belt and threw it to

the ground. He dismounted. He stepped easily

to the gate, opened it, and entered the yard

of Bill Kendrick.

“You’ve challenged me, and I never saw a

nester I couldn’t lick,” said Harvey Crown.

As he spoke, he let fly with a right cross that

caught Kendrick on the point of the jaw and

sent him reeling backward. Mrs. Kendrick,

watching from the doorway, let out a scream.

SIX CUN HEROES

Kendrick staggered, 1>ut did not fall. Hecharged back like a roaring bull, and gave

Harvey Crown a full measure of flailing lefts

and rights that reeled the ranch owner back

against the fence. Kendrick drove in for the

knockout blow, but Harvey came up from the

fence with a sharp jab to the midsection that

doubled the nester. Then Harvey cut loose

with an uppercut that seemed to snap the

farmer’s neck.

Blootjy, groggy, Kendrick still had fight

left in him. His ham-like fist caught the young

rancher just above the right eye, and then

both gladiators collapsed in a heap.

Mrs. Kendrick, carrying a shotgun in one

hand and a bucket in the other, ran to the

well, got a bucket of water and ran back. She

splashed the water over both men. At the

same time she said, “If any of you try to go

for a gun, I’ll blast you.”

The foreman, Jeff Lariar, chuckled. “Don’t

worry, Mrs. Kendrick. The boss said we should

drop our guns. We do what he says, whether

he’s unconscious or not!”

She held the gun firmly. She didn’t quite

trust him. When Harvey Crown finally rose,

shaking his head to get rid of the mist, he

found himself facing a shotgun. He laughed

Out loud. Kendrick, recovering a second later,

asked, “What’s funny?”

Crown said, “Mister Kendrick, I'll tell you

what’s funny—a nester licked me!”

“I’ll tell you what’s even funnier,” asserted

Kendrick. “A cow king licked me!”

Word of the fight and the amazing double

knockout spread rapidly. Many of the cattle

barons were all in favor of moving at once

to ride the upstart, Bill Kendrick, out of town

on a rail. Meanwhile, many of the shiftless

nesters had decided that Kendrick was their

champion. A delegation of them went to himand suggested that he be their leader in war-

ring on the cattlemen. “We can lie in ambushand pick them off one at a time with rifles,”

was the suggestion.

Bill Kendrick roared at them. He gave themseven seconds to get away from him with a

suggestion like that. So fierce was he, that

all of them cleared out with two seconds to

spare. But they were bitter. Shiftless as they

were, they resented Kendrick and his honesty.

Still, they needed a man of his strength andcourage if they were to engage in battle. They

decided to trap him, to fake evidence so that

he would have to fight on their side, or be

hung.

In the night, while Kendrick slept, two mencame into his yard. They dug slowly, silently.

When the hole was deep enough, they buried

a calfskin—one that unmistakably bore the

Crown brand. They slunk away. Morning

came. Word was spread. It came to Jeff Lariar

that Bill Kendrick had been rustling and

*butchering Crown stock. Jeff dutifully report-

ed to the boss. Harvey Crown listened grimly,

then rode at the head of his crew out to

Kendrick’s place.

Kendrick seemed surprised when he heard

Jeff’s accusations, but it was child’s play to

discoyer the loose earth where the calf skin

with the tell-tale brand had been buried.

Kendrick stood with open mouth as the hide

was hauled out.

Jeff pointed his gun at Kendrick and said,

“All right, Mr. Nester, this proves you are a

thief, too!”

Young Mrs. Kendrick pointed her shotgun

from the-doorway at Jeff and said, “Drop your

gpn, misttft! Or I’ll fill you full of holes.”

Bill Kendrick, himself, seemed too amazed

to speak. But Harvey Crown wasn’t really sur-

prised. He barked, “Drop your guns—both of

you!” Jeff obeyed, and such was the force of

his words that Mrs. Kendrick allowed her

shotgun to clatter down, too.

HARVEY CROWN clapped an arm around

Bill Kendrick’s shoulder and said, “Youdidn’t butcher that calf, did you?"

“Why . . . no . . . I . ..”

“I believe you,” said Crown, squeezing Ken-

drick's shoulder. "You are an honest man. Wejust wanted to find out if you would be willing

to testify against that rustling-gang the sheriff

caught last night.”

“I sure would !” said Kendrick emphatically.

“They’re bad hombres.”

Crown looked at him, smiling. “I was far

wrong when I said all nesters are thieves.

You’re not. And there may be others. Anyway,I want us to work together to make the west

a fine place for both cattlemen and farmers.

Will you shake on it?”

The two men shook hands as Jeff Lariar

shook his head in astonishment, and 'Mrs.

Kendrick smiled with happiness.
