A man in a sheriff's badge speaks with a bartender in a saloon; another man is grabbed by the throat. The dialogue suggests a negotiation over a person named Rita and a reference to a private matter.
“Guess he got past my boys without being seen. Getting to be a habit what. I'm thinking of closing me up are you. I wouldn't want to.” 6:01 · “wouldn't let you know saloon no trail her no trail herds and the merchants starved to death. Why is right. And what do you want because if it's Rita maybe I can fix it up for you. He found this is private. Just put that on the bill. Anything” 6:11 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
