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.
