Then, when he is on the higher level, shoot him in the head with the rifle until he starts yelling, then go into Quickdraw mode. Shoot the dynamite when he throws it.

Eternal Darkness...

When you have completed the game go to mugruders mine. Get on a horse (this may only work with reed's horse but I'm not sure) and ride up the gap at the side of the big red building that leads underground. Keep jumping at the wall until you go through. Once inside you will be in first stage of the mine, sadly you can go no further because you are blocked by a blockade. If you walk up to it the world will become dark then simply kill yourself with dynamite or dynamite arrows now when you come back alive the world will be dark where ever you go.

To turn it back just ride around near the outskirts of dodge and the canyons. HAVE FUN!

Unlimited Ammo

If you take a barrel of TNT from the Badlands mine and put it on the north end of the old abandoned house's chimney, the explosion will open up a hole in the ground with unlimited ammunition.

To get there, get out of Dodge City. Make your way to the Badlands (use your map for directions) and head into the field that has several horses and buffalo. The house and the mine with the TNT will be right next to you.
