a

there's an old saying in the west that

there's no such thing as a good man with

a bad aim they're buried I guess before

they ever get another chance to improve

their

shooting I was on my way to see a bad

man who was a good shot those kind get

buried too but that particular morning I

didn't have the faintest idea I was

going to be the reason for burying the

[Music]

sheriff raise fire understand Sheriff

bracket wants to see me he's in

there wait a

minute I better take your gun what's the

idea I there's a rumor around town that

you don't like the sheriff too much

supposing I don't does that mean I'm

gunning for him nice

[Music]

balance sit down

noris I said sit down I'd rather

stand I know all about you Steve you've

only been ranching in this territory a

short time but you built up a pretty

good herd of cattle well raising a

herd's my business well cattle rustlers

are my business what are you getting at

playing innocent ain't going to help you

Norris look bracket you can't push me

around the way you do everybody else in

this

town you've accused me of cattle

wrestling now go ahead and prove

it I don't have to prove it I'm the law

here keeping Law and Order is

expensive I'll let you go this time with

a small fine say uh $500 call it a

contribution if you like and I'll drop

all charges well you cheap for flushing

crook when the town's people hear what

I've got to say you'll be thrown out of

office they ain't going to hear what you

have to

[Music]

say better lock him up boys so we find

out what Decker wants to do with

[Music]

him

[Music]

s it what is it your

confession why this makes it a cold

blooded murder and it's a lie it's your

word against ours all four of us you've

got 30 seconds to sign

it

no one else needs see this confession

it'll be up to you how's that sheriff

bracket was a no- good grafter he got

what was coming to him what are you

getting

at I think you know that I run this town

I'm responsible for his welfare I made a

mistake when I let bracket get into

office you did me a service by getting

him out

again how would you like to be the new

sheriff

surprised the only people who know about

that killing are in this room and I

control them from now on you'll control

me too is that it Decker you get the

idea Steve don't toss away your life

with a hasty decision think it

over take him away until he makes up his

mind

all right brot you can come

out nice going if I had have known that

ugly face of yours was going to show up

in a lot of reward posters you'd have

never been sheriff in my town what's the

difference I gave you what you wanted

now pay me off and I'll clear out not

yet the boys tell tell me you did a nice

job at playing dead Steve Norris is

fairly well convinced he killed you but

he's also a pretty smart guy what are

you trying to say suppose he gets to

wondering if he wasn't framed into

drawing a trick gun loaded with planks

and set to go off when it was pointed

this Pony killing was your idea not mine

but maybe we didn't make it quite

convincing enough maybe a real corpse

would keep him from thinking too

hard

deer deer no

[Music]

no save his

star we'll be needing it for the new

[Music]

sheriff everything it be free if they

leave it to me if I were the boss of the

town I wouldn't have any jail so to HP

by the pil if I were the boss of the

town all the wrestlers would feel just

no fun not a steal so no villains could

ever be found just to sleep eat and play

would be the style of the day if I were

the boss of the

Town candy on the lamp post bananas on

the trees strawberri tasp Barilla every

bit of a tree all the chairs would be

soft doing work that's all off if I were

the boss of the Town taking life as it

comes hunting nothing but fun if I were

the boss of the

Town candy on the lampost bananas on the

trees strawber Silla every bit of it

free all the chairs would be work that's

all if I were the of the Town taking

life as

ites but fun if I were the boss of the

to the if I were the boss

this picture of the new

share over to the left just a little bit

folks it isn't necessary for me to

introduce your new sheriff you all know

Steve

[Applause]

Norris he's one of you his interests are

your interests we're for Steve all right

but just where do you fit into this I'll

answer that I want Law and Order in this

community as much as

anyone you going home I'm going in and

have a talk with Steve yes father so

that's how it is huh you're the only

friend I've told Brett I don't think it

ought to go any further well do you

think that's right Steve folks here will

put their trust in you while you're

carrying out dea's orders here's a

letter I've written to the United States

Marshall Jack Reed I've asked him to

come here and when he does I'm going to

turn myself over to him for the murder

of sheriff bracket but meantime I'm

going to do everything I can to smash

Dean his crooked Hold On This Town well

I I Mis judge you young fellow and I

want you to know that I'm with you but

you're taking an awful lot for granted I

don't think you have any idea what

you're up

[Music]

against Brett Wallace was right I didn't

have any real idea of what I was up

against while Deca continued to make

himself Rich at the expense of the

ranchers his gunman sought to it that I

never

interfered whenever I did make an arrest

it was on dea's orders and the victim

was usually some innocent man whose only

crime was crossing the boss stores had

to pay Deca to stay in business or I

Clos them

[Music]

up folks I used to call friends now

hated the sight of

[Music]

it

was pretty bitter medicine but all I

could do was play along with deer until

my chance came and it came Duffy the

cashier at the local bank was with

Decker one day Duffy looked plenty

scared and I made up my mind to find out

why I was also curious to know why the

boss had sent for

me you've been doing a good job

Steve so good the Town people in the

ranchers are about ready to hang you but

don't worry we can protect you from that

too I'm not worried good however I've

been thinking you ought to take a trip

out of town for a few days why don't you

go out red Mound way and look for

wrestlers make sure I don't find any is

that it listen Steve I want you out of

town understand yeah I

understand

with bacon and eggs in the skillet and

the ters of frying I swear my stomach's

a crying to fill it I'll eat like a

starving old bear yeah he eats once or

twice before breakfast he has a light

snack about 10 but curly I've got to eat

dinner quite early so at noon you can

wait in again a big glass of milk at

2:30 a ham and egg sandwich at 4: my

suppers at 6: and

8:30 he's into the

cook he's up in the night hunting B you

rat in a Grainery eat hot bakes and

celery at 5
