Set-in

[Homayun]

What does ''set-in'' mean in the sentence below? I came across it in the movie ''Pale Rider" 1985.
Well, we had a little set-in with Barret, boss.

It means disageement/argument/fight.

And what does ''poke'' mean in the sentence below? It is from the same movie.
''And he was the first man to strike it rich. He saved himself a poke, then he'd stake new claims and he'd mine them out...''
Does it mean wallet or purse?

 

[5jj]

Yes, and, by extension, a fair sum of money.

For info, I've never heard of "set-in" to mean that. In BrE, the term "set-to" is used.

We've had a little set-to over the funeral arrangements.

Thanks for your helpful clarification.
