Speaker 7: Come on, guys, all right, all right, hold it here.
I figured about twenty of them, no more than twenty five.
Speaker 9: They wouldn't even try to stand again, his captain. If
we was up there on the flat, but we're not.
With no way of getting there. They got us pinned
down type a mounted charge. We'd have to mountain the open.
Maybe three or four of us would get in the setting.
Speaker 10: Way we stand.
Speaker 9: It's only a matter of time, sir, much time at that,
as long as they hold the top of that bank.
Speaker 10: They got another one of our horses.
Speaker 12: Now if that was yeah, stay down, color, get back
the color.
Speaker 2: Crazy fool. Let him go, sir. We need every man.
We've got to say here, sergeant, I'm going after him.

Speaker 5: I can't, I can't.
Speaker 8: Swer she's in pain, Joby.
Speaker 7: No, some things a man's got no choice about in
this world. If you don't, then I'll.
Speaker 2: Have to, all right, Captain.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but thank you, sir, not bet Belle.
Speaker 8: Joby.

Speaker 2: Joey killing here, Joey, come back here, Jobby.
Speaker 10: You all right, Captain.
Speaker 2: Joey, he's out of his mind.
Speaker 10: Well, he's going straight up the slope.
Speaker 2: He can't keep missing him soon, No, I'm not. He's
been hit twice already.
Speaker 12: Captain.
Speaker 1: They're up in the open all along the skyland. He's
got to worry.
Speaker 2: Have the men give him some cover, Sergeant, right.
Speaker 16: Sir, as skirmishers fire, missus haybots. Have him laid their
fire along the ridge. They got targets on the skyline.
Speaker 1: Now leave heaven.
Speaker 16: What's keeping him all his feet, sir, Our hearts Sergeant

feet and he's right at the ridge.
Speaker 1: What is it, sir? What's happening?
Speaker 16: That stunt was just insane enough to panic of mister Seyberts.
They must think it's a trick. They're breaking pulling back
from the ridge. We got a chance, now we're going up.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'll never understand it, sir, Understand what mister Sybits.
Speaker 1: How he did it?
Speaker 13: Thirteen bullet wounds and he still got all the way
to the top.
Speaker 8: I guess something takes hold of a man at times
like that.
Speaker 13: But of all the least likely people, mild, meek, little joby, turler.
Speaker 7: Meek or not, everybody's got at least one thing he'll
live for or die for.
Speaker 13: But y, you'll have to admit, sir, it's usually something
more than just a horse.
Speaker 7: How would you feel, mister Cyberts, if the one and
only friend you'd ever had in this world was lying
helpless at your feet.
Speaker 8: The only thing that you could do for 'em was
to put a bullet in his brain.

Speaker 3: Dismiss next week another transcribed story of the Northwest Frontier
and the troopers who fought under lee Quin's Captain of Cavalry.
You're not branded as a careless driver only because you
zoom at sixty along a crowded highway or because you
fail to heat a stop light or stop sign. You're
a bad driver, a careless driver when your car is
standing stock still at the curve, if it's parked in
a no parking zone, if it's too close to a
fire hydrant, or if it's double parked, are you a
reckless driver? Even when your car is standing still, remember
it's kid stuck to try to get away with something
