Everyone then knew it was the bandits, so Marvin was paid the reward. He became friends with a gunsmith in Chihuahua and told him about driving the cattle in Texas. The owner of the large number of cattle was looking for a foreman to drive his cattle to Santa Fe. The gunsmith recommended Marvin as he remembered Marvin telling him about driving cattle in Texas.
