Support Your Local Sheriff! Page #4

Right, Jake, I want you

to go into the Mint Saloon.

There's a fella in there

by the name of Joe Danby.

Tell him I remember his name.

He's under arrest for murder.

I'll be in to pick him up in not 20 minutes.

- You talkin' to me?

- You hard of hearing?

You want me to tell Joe Danby

that he's under arrest for murder?

- What about after he kills me?

- I'll arrest him for both murders.

- Where's the jail?

- Just follow me, Sheriff.

You won't find a better jail

for 200 miles.

That is, if he can find one at all.

- Everything seems to be in order.

- Our last sheriff was a good organiser.

Yellow clear through,

but a good organiser.

We should be getting the bars in

any day now.

- That oughta do it.

- That oughta do what, Sheriff?

That oughta take care of it

till we get the bars in.

I've got my bedroll and other things

over at the stable.

I'll pick them up, then settle in

where I'm gonna stay.

I got a nice room for you at my house.

Shall we go over there?

Then I can pick up that Danby fella.

There is something you better know

about the Danbys.

Why bother the sheriff

about that stuff now?

- But, Fred...

- We can fill him in after he settles in.

- You comin', Mayor?

- I'll be right with you, Sheriff.

This is like murder.

I hope you know that.

Just cos we've lost three sheriffs

don't mean we're gonna lose four.

- Our luck is bound to change.

- What about his luck?

Prudy! Prudy!

- Just put your things over there.

- All righty.

Prudy!

I want you to meet my daughter, Sheriff.

A good cook. Mighty fine-lookin' girl.

Takes after her dear, departed mother.

- Mother died, huh?

- No, she just departed.

Come on, Sheriff.

I'll show you the parlour.

That little organ,

that came all the way from Dsseldorf.

The furniture was shipped

through St Louis and Chicago.

- This desk is where I do my mayor work.

- Very nice.

I guess you could say

this is about the finest house in town.

Let me show you the dining room.

That's where you'll be having your meals.

Prudy! I want you to meet someone.

- This is the dining room.

- You sure have a nice place here.

Thank you, Sheriff. A drink?

- Water, if you have some.

- Water?

Sure thing.

We've got a pump inside the kitchen.

Inside the house?

There's the pump.

Sheriff.

Before you go down

to arrest Joe Danby,

a couple of things you oughta know.

- All right.

- The Danbys, there's four of them.

Father and three sons,

all of 'em pretty tough customers.

- Outlaws?

- No, not exactly.

But in many ways,

you might say they're like outlaws.

- How's that?

- They do pretty much as they like.

And they get real nasty

when anybody tries to stop 'em.

You mean...

You mean you don't want me
