Law and Order Page #3

I wonder what he was drinking?

Imagine him accusing us of rustling.

Must be a long while

since we slept in beds.

Well... you don't have to hog it all.

Don't seem to be much law and order here.

It's come to a pretty pass when our women

are afraid to go out on the street.

I think we ought to hear

from our undertakers.

What do you think?

My brother and I feel that the good

thing was to send for Mister Johnson.

We do.

Yes.

It's time we took the bull by the horns.

Tombstone ain't the first town

that's had to put up a fight.

Dodge City did. Denver. Wichita.

And how were those towns cleaned up?

By fighting Peace Officers.

And that's what we got to have.

A man with an itchy trigger finger.

Why they say this Saint Johnson

has killed thirty five men.

That's one for every year of his life.

But you can't trust a

fellow like him too far.

I tell you that this will get us into

open warfare with the Northrups.

Well, what are you going to

do about these Northrups?

Let them rob our stages, run our

cattle, shoot us in the back?

I for one say:
fight fire with fire!

We're all for hiring Mister Johnson.

Howdy.

Howdy Mister Johnson.

I'm judge Williams. Come on in.

Got to know The Golden Girl.

Oh yes. Meet Mister Dixon.

From the gun-store here.

Mister Berry. Mister Holt.

How do you do?

And the Parker brothers,

the town undertakers.

The boys are all counted... sit down.

How do you like Tombstone, Mr Johnson?

Smart town.

How would you like to

take a hand in running it?

How's that?

Mister Johnson. This county

needs a Deputy Marshall.

We think you are the man for the job.

I'd like to appoint you.

Nope. When I left Kansas,

I put my badge away for good.

Decent people here would like

to see this town cleaned up.

We would make it worth your while.

Sorry Judge. I have to turn you down.

Why, Mister Johnson?

A thankless job.

Well, the decent people of

the town would be with you.

That is, the law-abiding citizens.

You could bank on us to back you up.

See, Mister Johnson ..

There's a lawless faction here that's

running this town to suit themselves.

Regardless of other people's rights.

What about Fin Elder?

Oh, he's as bad as the rest.

What we need is a fellow like you that

won't draw in his horns. Take our part.

We are willing to pay you your price.

Money couldn't hire me.

I reckon this will about the

biggest job you ever tackled.

You seen what happened up at

The Golden Girl the other night.

Lots of fellahs would jump at the chance.

Pat Masterson, he's up in Denver.

Hickok. Ben Thompson. He'd do it.

No... you are the fellah.

I'm only wasting your time.

I've made up my mind.

I won't do it.
