The Deserter

in the territory with the U.S. Marshal and the fellow. The best time in the soldiers. You're right, Matt.

For me too. You have time to eat with us? I sure like to, but I gotta get back to town. Sorry you can't stay. Finally. Sir. You bring out Marshal Jones' horse. Yes. Well, thanks for bringing those papers out now.

That was a pleasure. Oh, incidentally, there was something else I wanted to talk to you about. Oh. A robbery, as a matter of fact. robbery. Yeah, it's a little embarrassing for the Army to have to report this, but well, our paymaster was held up.

I'll hold up your embarrassing for somebody. One of the men was a member of the payroll guard. They can right here at Fort Dodge. He got away with the money. Well, planned and well executed. The accomplice started firing from the rocks and then the confusion the soldier merely turned and ran with the money.

As you said, that is a little embarrassing. Matt, the road off in separate directions. Obviously planning to meet later and spit the money. We have patrols out now working for them. We think the soldier was wounded.

Uh, what do you want from me, Major? Well, I just thought that you might keep an eye out. It's not likely after two days that either one of them is still around, but... Well, if you were to hear anything, I'd appreciate knowing.

I sure let you know. Marshal Porser. Oh, thank you. I'll make you all see you later. You're my regards to Miss Russell and Chester. Sure will. Thanks, Sam.

Two beers on the house. Well, thanks, Kitty. Here's my last road, do you think? You missed Kitty. You ever win? No, I'll hold that chair for you. No need to help me like this, Chester.
