Westward the Tide (1950)
“He had been hit and hit hard, he had been kicked at least a dozen times, and he was on his feet again. He was no longer punch shy as a man often is before he has been hurt. He moved in, his skill reasserting itself, his strength coming back. The vitality built through many years of hard living on the plains and in the mountains was with him now. He bowed his head and walked in, and suddenly, he began to rip short, wicked punches to Clive Massey's stomach.
Massey was the bigger man, and he was a... strong man, and smart in the ways of fighting, but Matt Bardoul kept weaving and smashing and he kept moving in. His face a smear of blood from a cut eye and a smashed lip, battered and swollen, he moved in. He was making a few of them miss now, and through the bloody haze of his sight he could see the moving body of Massey ahead of him.
He feinted suddenly, and lashed out with a right. Massey caught it coming in, and it shook him to his boots. Watching his face, Matt knew the punch hurt, and moreover he knew that it did something to Clive Massey.MoreLess

The guy is a Deputy United States Marshall, with strong authority. Ge can deputise any of the others, and then search all the wagons, one by one for the ammunition. They know who was caught searching inside the wagons do can "sweat" im until he reveals where it is. The crooks can be held back with loaded guns as Matt and his deputies would still have SOME ammunition.Write Review:
