The Independent Bride
“If you ask me, I’ll send a patrol out to investigate. If the agent asks me, I’ll send a patrol out. If the Indians ask me, I’ll send a patrol.”
“What if you don’t find anything?”
“The Indians will have been cheated of what the treaty guarantees them, and they will be hungry and angry. It’s my job to make sure they stay on the reservation. If they had killed even one white man, rustler or not, when they went after that herd before, we’d have had trouble.”
“Why would my father want such a trouble...some contract?”
“Because of the money he could make. Once again, if you take my advice, you’ll give it up.”
“I don’t trust Luther Hinson not to cheat the Indians.”
“I expect you’re right.” Bryce didn’t like having to stand aside while Hinson had a free hand to do whatever he wished.
“What are you going to do about it?”
“Nothing. As I told you before, that’s outside my authority. If I interfere, I could end up court-martialed. You said you worked in St.MoreLess
