Together with Dutch go to Hosea, who will be waiting for you near the horses.
On the way to the fishing ground Dutch will say that he doesn't want anyone to cause any problems in the local town. This means that you will not be able to use weapons or violence in Rhodes. The game just won't allow it.
After some time you will reach the intersection with the railway tracks and you will have to stop for a while because the further journey will be made impossible by the passing train. Next to you there will be a wagon on which law officers transport several prisoners. One of the prisoners will turn out to be Trelawny. The remaining prisoners are the Anderson boys.
During a conversation with the law officers, you'll find out that Trelawny was accused of running a gold mining investment scam. Dutch will try negotiate his release. In the meantime, one of the Andersons will open the lock to the cage they are kept in and the whole Anderson family will flee to the passing train.
Dutch will offer law guards assistance in capturing fugitives in exchange for leniency for Trelawny. They will agree to it, Deputy Archibald will get on Arthur's horse and together you will go after the train.
Archibald will tell you that all four Anderson boys must be caught alive, so you can't shoot them.
The first of them will eliminate himself after he does not notice the water pipe.
When the train slows down passing through the station, you will be able to catch up with it. Continue alongside the train until you reach a flat carriage. When it's possible, jump onto it.
After jumping onto the train, you'll be knocked out by one of the Anderson boys. Free yourself from his grip. When you do this, you'll throw him off the train.
You have two more Andersons left to catch.
You will catch up with another Anderson on the roof of the train. You'll have to beat him in a fistfight and knock him down.
The last of the Anderson Boys is Anders Anderson himself. He will run away from you to the butchery wagon. Be careful, he's found a knife, and if you want to earn the gold medal, then you can't let him hit you even once.
Pick up unconscious Anders, get him out of the wagon and put him onto the back of your horse.
Get on your horse and together with Archibald go to the Rhodes Sheriff's Office.
When you get there, get off the horse, get Anders off the horse and put him in front of the sheriff's office.
Delivering Anders to the sheriff will convince him to let Trelawny go.
Trelawny will provide you with some information about the current situation in the city and its surroundings and then he will say goodbye to you.
After parting with Trelawny, and making plans for the near future, you will have to decide if you still want to go fishing. You have to catch a fish in order to win a gold medal in this mission, so you should tell them that you want to go. If you don't care about getting a gold medal and you don't want to go fishing, you can refuse and the mission will end here.
Get on your horses and follow Hosea to the fishing spot.
Eventually you will reach the beach where you can "borrow" a rowboat.
Pull out the rod, put on the bait (lake lure) and catch at least one fish. When you have enough, just put the rod away.
Row south to your camp and dock the boat next to the pier. That completes the mission.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the missions Money Lending and Other Sins IV, American Distillation, The Course of True Love I - II.
