lost two payroll shipments to hold up men in the
last month. Now he had hired me to transport a
third shipman from the bank in Yuba City to his
ranch near Oroville, California. I met his foreman, Luke Williams,
the night I checked into the hotel in Yuba City.
The plans for secrecy were set. If by any chance,
our mission was discovered by the outlaw that held up
the other shipments, we were to protect each other and
see that the money got to Reagan safely. The next morning,
I rented a horse, picked up the money at the bank,
tied the leather money back to my saddle, and met
Williams at the edge of town. We rode the first
five miles in watchful silence. Here is a quick up ahead,
speaking one of the horses, and rest the spell. If
you like, guder, hey tell me how much is really paying.
That's a private arrangement. Look, he owes me a gord fool.
I ain't been paid in three months. That's all all right.
I guess he's had a pretty rough time of it lately,
losing two payrolls. Yeah, maybe, but it wish his own fault.
Sent a couple of greenhorns up there both times, and last.
Speaker 4: Time one of them got a self killed. I told
Regan he should have sent me in the first place.
Speaker 1: How long have you been with him?
Speaker 4: About two years? But you won't find me there two more?

back wages.

Speaker 1: I'm real sorry to hear about that television. Luke Williams

I'll find my way back to the main trail. It
wasn't too long before a wagon came by and the
man took me into Oraville. And I'll sad the couple
of hands up to get Luke. We get him a
nice funeral. Mister Reagan, what do you know about this
rants carnival? Only what I've heard. Didn't know he was
a killer, though, got his reputation as a thief. He
must have had a personal grudge against Luke, whom that's strange.
How's that? Well? Luke mentioned to me about a month
ago the Carnival's wife was working in the paradise slewon
in town, saying as how he felt sorry for her
his wife. Yeah, he must have had a few talks
with her. Carnival moved into Raville a couple of years
ago his wife and Sean, and bought a place on
the other side of town. Didn't take long for the
people around here to catch up to him, though. Do
you think he'd come back to see his wife. No,
he wouldn't do that. I hear she claims to have
given him up for good. No, No, he's too smart
to do that. That's the first place she'd look for him.
So I wonder I think ILL write out another talk
to him. Man. I don't know how to do you any.
Speaker 5: Good, Riggan.

money back to you. I know you will Telladon That's

the back door, being careful to stay out of sight.
As it turned out, I wouldn't have been noticed. It
was a heated hour given going on inside between Rance
and his wife. Don't go for your gun, Rance, you
I think I'd still be walking to Yuba City.
Speaker 4: I should have known not to leave you alive.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm grateful to you for that, but it doesn't
nothing to do with the murder you did commit.

Speaker 4: Might as well blame me.
Speaker 2: I loved him one I ever loved you, and if
you hadn't to come back when you did, we'd have
been goune and you never would have found him.
Speaker 4: Don't you have any respect for your son? How'd you
think he feel having another man for his father to
care for? That boy had on you to give up
your rotten ways a long time ago.

taken him away, I'd be feeling that he'd get back
and somehow or they could hang you. I don't want
need to know about this.
Speaker 1: He won't be able to keep it from him. Now.
If you heard those shots, he'll be coming up to
the house to see what happened?
