Something Should Be Done!!!!
By Dan Bullard, Owner of the Broken Noose Saloon
You all know me, I am not a man given to letter writing and such things. I settle my accounts like a man. Strait enough. I am all for letting the Law do it's job when it knows it's place in the way of things. Our late Sheriff was a good man. A smart man. Did what he could, when he could. It's a damn shame what happened to him. But life goes on. Those of us who have made our homes and our businesses here in Red Creek have put everything we own into this town, and I, for one, am not about to let that hard work and sweat go to waste! Sheriff Blocker never once got another man here in town killed. Now this new Marshal is here less than two weeks and two of our boys are gettin buried today. What did Jimmy Darling ever do to anyone that he deserved to be killed in what looks to me like a personal feud between this Marshal and the cur that killed the Sheriff? Huh? Poor Jimmy was not a law man! He had no business goin up into them hills yesterday. I say the Marshal should have known better! He wants to be some kinda of hero, he should be able to do his work by himself, not drag innocent boys around the countryside to do his dirty work! Jimmy's father, Hugh, is a good man and a leader of this town. And now, because of this so-called Lawman, his oldest boy is layin in a pine box this morning in his living room. And let's not forget young Kevin Guilderman from the Circle M ranch. This young man was shot down in the prime of his life as well. Are we gonna sit by and let this sort of thing happen here in our town? I say no. Something should be done!
