Bowers, who take the parts of Bill
Hendricks, the ranch foreman, and the
Sky Pilot. respectively. and spoke
thus:
Boys, this scrip calls for jam-up
fight | am tired of seeing sham
scraps on the screen and | want a
real fight. Are you fellows game to
go through with it?'
Bowers looked at Butler. and Butlec
looked at Bowers ard the two six
footers instinctively realized that a
real fight wouldn't be especially bene-
fetal to either.
Everything else in the picture is
going TO be real coaxed Vidor.
Butler and Bowers shook" on it,

most rousins fights in screen history.

fortunate enough to discover that there

of my neighbors. These good people
were absolutely ignorant that their
land contained that which was quite
as valuable as gold mine. Naturally

land before they discovered its true
value: but unfortunately, l had no
capital by which l could do this.

secret, however, and they suggested
that we should quietly and secretly
work our own little deposit, and that

which would enable us to buy the
