How does Wayne recruit his gang?


When Matt takes over the drive from Dunson, Groot says that Dunson will likely ride to the closest town and get men and more cartridges.

My question is how? Dunson said he was broke and had no money. What did he use to recruit more men and buy more bullets?

Presumably, like with the cowhands, he promised them payment when the cattle was sold.
