Suddenly Page #4

Too much chance for an ambush

in those mountains. Yes Haggerty?

We could use a roof watch on those

stores Chief, and a street check.

Mr. Carney, every proprietor in this

town has been here at least five years.

I know them, I know their kids.

It's not that sheriff; it's the stranger that

might use one of those stores for cover.

I'd like them to lock up at 4:50,

stay locked up until 5:10.

- Oh, and put a man on the roof too.

- Alright Bert, give 'em the word.

No one is to remain in

those stores at locking time,

anyone seen inside after 4:50,

might be shot on sight.

- Like the man says it's important.

- Yes Sir.

Tell Wilson to keep the station clear.

Schultz will take over troopers

and block off traffic approaches

from 4:
30 onwards.

Right. There's another hazard Sir.

A house up on the hill.

Yeah, I know.

I'll check that one myself.

Yes Sir.

Tod, what the Hades

is going on in this burg?

Did some Galoot make

a uranium strike?

Not exactly. Now look Slim you take

over here and we'll catch up later.

Keep all pedestrian traffic off

the main street from 4:30

between Oak and Alder,

the state boys will help 'ya,

one of my deputies.

How do you do?

Secret Service. I get it.

They're shipping the national

debt through here in gold bars.

Just don't worry about it,

you'll find out later.

Right come on.

Let's go and check that car you hired.

Bang, bang got 'em all.

Buffalo Bill, you'd better put that gun

away before your Mom sees it,

she'll tan you a hide.

Dad! I do wish you'd call Jud

and let him come up and fix that.

Shucks, Ellen, I knew Ohms Law

before they even passed it.

Don't want Pidge to miss the ball

game, after missing the movie and all.

Alright, boy,

get ready to plug this set in

while I hold this screw down

and see what happens.

Okay.

Dad, are you sure you

know what you're doing?

Ellen, please.

But it says on the back that there's

Ellen, please stop being a woman...

Ready boy, plug in.

Dad! Dad! Are you alright?

I guess I'm alright, it scared

the pants of me, that's all.

Golly, look at this.

I guess maybe

you'd better call Jud, huh?

Honestly.

- That was a close call, boy.

- How much is 5000 volts?
