LOUD BLAST FROM A TRAIN WHISTLE

Hitch ambles along. He reins when he sees...

Chin hurries off.

ALLISON:

Are you the Sheriff here?

COLE:

City Marshal. Virgil Cole. This

fella here is my Deputy, Everett

Hitch.

Allison turns to Hitch.

HITCH:

Ma’am.

ALLISON:

How do you do?

Allison removes her hat and sets it on an empty chair. Hitch

sits down with Cole.
