Jarvis was pretty far gone how did you know it was mr. Jarvis well that's what you just called him mighty strange you were johnny-on-the-spot you accusing me that's right any of you others feel the same way you lowdown you killed tom Steve Godfrey why just like old times you're mistaken Lester you think I'd be fool enough to bring him here if I'd killed him who's been killed Tom Jarvis has been murdered mr. Treadway murdered yeah we think the Steve Godfrey did it too Oh nonsense Godfrey's right he wouldn't brought Tom here if he'd killed him where's Mary Ann in the house just what's the idea of not recognizing an old friend I want you to meet me later at the old-line Shack smiley I [Applause] just heard about it Maryann and it was quite a shock if there's anything I can do what can anyone do first dad and Uncle Tom it just doesn't make sense mr. chadway why should anyone want to harm them I don't suppose you'll want to go on living here after this I don't know what I want to do all mixed up pull yourself together Maryann and don't worry as your uncle's lawyer I can take care of everything for you thanks mr. trenway goodbye were you watching me I sure would owe some no account must agrees my saddle it look like it good see again smiley well a funny way you got a show on it considering how I looked after you in the cavalry I don't blame you for being surprised nothing surprises me after this what is it where'd you get this I was in the sheriff's office the other day when that come in the mail good old smiley I could always count on you for everything except your cooking well you don't need to pay me no compliments all I want to find out is why did you do it well since I never could keep a secret for my Audley here it is I was in charge of a detachment escorting the paymaster when sighs and javis got a tip were gonna be held out I change the route of March but we rode right into an ambush lost a few men and all the money and they suspected that you done it my change from the routes instead Tom javis got a dishonorable discharge for following my orders now my only hope of clearing us both is to find the leader of those outlaws oh you know who done it no all I know is he handles a gun with his left hand and he and his gang headed this way well maybe Jarvis caught up with him that's why he got killed as possible unless there is a reason for someone wanting that ranch do you think miss Jarvis will sell out and leave well she preneur sold it when her daddy was shot she ought to hang on of that place Steve she's not gonna listen to you unless you tell her the truth like he did me I can't do that but there is someone she might listen to Durango [Music] so the Jarvis girl still doesn't want to sell out I didn't press the matter because I didn't want to appear too anxious but I want some action you'll get it but at the right time meanwhile I want you to take care of this stranger Steve Godfrey who's moved in here Godfrey have any idea where hangs out you'll probably find him around the Jarvis ranch he won't be there long [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh I'm a baking a pan of biscuits and I'm gonna try to fix it so the boys can have a steaming pot of beans then I boil a coffee longer cause they like it black and stronger used to sharpen butcher knives right on the steam they don't care so much for mutton but I tell them better nothing and a cup of axle grease can make it's well I don't worry how to fill them I'm afraid someday I'll kill I just know it on the plates and ring the bell ring the bell ring the bell you would really take that beat
