not because of the job there, which turned out to
be routine uneventful, but because it would give me the
opportunity to visit some old friends of mine in Three
Winds on my way home, Sheriff Barry Deaver and his wife.
The twenty mile ride from North Fork through sand dunes, buttes,
and low hills led me to an unusually quiet Three Winds.
The one saloon in town was quiet too. Well, it'd
be mister whiskey, you're going to be in town for
a while, and better check that gun in with the
sheriff and against the law that we're at gun and
three winds, he sure is. Sheriff Diver's the only one
can carry a firearm in this town. Sheriff Divers changed
his laws since I was here last something new six
months new. Well, I'm on my way over to Dever's office.
I'll turn it into them if need be. He's a
friend of mine. Yeah, you from Philadelphia, No, No, California.
I didn't think he looked like an Easterner. I thought
the only friends Owden Deaver had left lived in Philadelphia. Owen, No,
I'm a friend of Owen's father. Oh, well, didn't you
hear old Barry's dead dead, Barry Dever. Yeah, last for
bady consumption. Owen came back from law school in Philadelphia
and took over a ship. Oh oh, bubble for sure.
Why has just a couple of raunchy cowboys. Yeah, but
diverra arrest him. You don't allow no shooting in town.
Speaker 4: Yeah, look at here, French, one customer in this saloon
on a Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2: Hey, what time do the girls come in?
Speaker 1: Whiskey man? No girls allowed in this saloon, No girls,
city law.
Speaker 5: Didn't know where he was in a city, only seeing
one saloon. Takes two to make a city, don't it
don't matter, French.
Speaker 1: We'll go up the North Fork, twny of girls up there. Now.
Speaker 5: We gotta have a drink first. Bring us two bottles,
one for me and one for Mason here, and sell.
Speaker 1: It by the bottle. Only four drinks for a customer.
It's the law. What kind of law you talking about?
My law? The law of three wins.
Speaker 5: Well, I didn't know this town was big enough to
have a sheriff.
Speaker 1: The law says four drinks to a person who's the
quart of for a day. The same law says all
guns must be turned into my office when you arrive
in three wins. I'll give them back to you when
you leave. Don't you think you ought to let law
abiding people keep their guns to defend themselves with I
defend law abiding people in this town. They don't have
to carry guns. As long as we get them back,
I'll go along with your ordnance. Lay it on the table,
all right, you man, I'm waiting, Mason, He says, yeah,
there ain't.
Speaker 5: No use in arguing with a load of turkey.
Speaker 2: Shut.
Speaker 1: They'll be in my office when you leave town. My head,
just shut my head.
Speaker 5: Whose side are you on?
Speaker 1: Anyway? You can lock him up? Sheriff, You just try
to throw a knife in your back, you roar my head.
Thanks for saving my life, but I'll have to take
you into for what for concealing that derringer? You should
have turned it in with the other gun, hand it over.
If I hadn't kept the derringer, you would have been killed.
The law still stands. You'll spend a week in jail.
What about me? What about my head? You'll live, but
you'll be in lock up till the judge comes through here.
Then you'll be tried for attempted murder. You taking me
to jail too, No, you'll get out of town. If
I ever see you back here again, I'll put you
in jail for a year for trespassing. The town's out
of limits to you because you've been associated with a murderer.
Speaker 2: Well, now, ain't you tall? That's shotgun?
Speaker 5: Sure makes you something I'd never heard of before.
Speaker 1: Get out of here.
Speaker 5: I'm going, but I'll see you again, mister.
Speaker 1: What kind of rules are you laying down in this
Tom Deever? Rules that respectful citizens expect from their sheriff.
But don't you know if you disarm everyone who comes
to three Winds, you're waving a red flag in front
of every gunfighter who thinks he's bigger than the law.
As long as I'm sheriff, there's no one bigger than
the law in three Winds. Let's go defenshible looks, smile.
Speaker 2: To day, two witkets, drink like, be young, can fair.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 2: Be sociable a pepsi.
Speaker 1: When friends drop in. Let your hospitality show you a
sociable in the modern manner.
Speaker 5: Pepsi, you know, is the favorite of the smartt and
young at heart.
Speaker 3: Be sociable, look smart to date with pepsi, drink lights
refreshing PEPSI stay young?
Speaker 2: Can Fair and Dover be sociable?
Speaker 1: PSI? Have you tried a pepsi lately? All right, get
in there, David. You better get some bantages for this
man's hand.
Speaker 4: I need a doctor, That's what I need. It does
a law allow a prisoner to have a doctor. We'll
get you fixed up. Ma gotta call the new prisoner
one of them. They're a fool, two headed fool shooting
that knife out of my hand. You got your brains
and your feet. I'll never forget what you did, mister.
We could have both been free if you hadn't butted in.
Speaker 1: You talk too much in Field? How do you know
my name? Didn't take much to figure you're one of
the Enfield brothers, and that the kid named French as
a member of your gang.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we must be getting famous when ten horns like
you know who we are. Well, I'll tell you something,
it's gonna be mighty miserable for you when my brothers.
Speaker 1: Come back to get me out of here.
Speaker 4: You wish you'd never heard of the Enfield gang.
Speaker 3: Oh, and I don't know why you have to arrest
every stranger walks into this town.
Speaker 2: By'm nursing, I'm cooking and.
Speaker 3: Power Hello, Ma, power, bless the stars in heaven.
Speaker 1: It's good to see. It's good to see you too,
now almost two. Now.
Speaker 2: Oh and you never met Paladin, didja?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: He was away in school and son, he helped your
paw round up the orneriest, wildest bunch of gunfighters you've
ever seen.
Speaker 2: Was a barking brothers, wasn't Paladin's right?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: What brings you back to three? With Paladin? What are
you doing behind those bars?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: And how come paladins in jail?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: Ma, did you arrest him? Owen Dever?
Speaker 1: Yes, I did.
Speaker 2: Well, you just get him out of there right this minute,
you hear.
Speaker 1: I can't do that. He violated the law.
Speaker 2: Violated the law.
Speaker 3: Now, just who do you think you are arresting a
man like this? I'll turn him loose, turn palette and looser,
so help me.
Speaker 2: I'll take a paddle and beat you to a blister.
That's all right, Ma, Well it ain't all right neither, not.
Speaker 1: That o one knows that I'm a friend of the family.
He and I can talk this out. We can talk
as much as you like, Paladin, But you're gonna stay
in jail for a week. It's the law for a
week for what you're concealing a firearm and not turning
it in. There you go.
Speaker 2: Again with another one of your stupid ordinances. Now what's
going to come of all your foolishness, Owen, The law
is the law is the law. Listen to him, Paladin.
We let him go to Philadelphia to study, and what
does he bring back?
Speaker 3: Five books? That's all those five books over there on
his desk, the municipal code of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: And he's been beating the town over the head with
him ever since he come back.
Speaker 3: The ranch hands won't come into town anymore because he
won't even let him spit in the street. Why it's
come to the place where nobody's even got any respect.
Speaker 1: For the name of div I don't hold any offense againstim.
If this is the law of three wins, I want
to abide by it. Well, we'll talk it out later. Now,
you give me those bandages and I'll take care of
this man's hand for you.
Speaker 3: Right, I guess there ain't no use arguing with you
or on either for that matter.
Speaker 1: He's a man of principal and strong will I'd say
he takes after his maw.
Speaker 2: Go on with your foolishness, I'm going to start your suffer.
Speaker 1: There goes a fine woman on. You ought to be
proud of her, I am. She doesn't realize the ways
of the old frontier towns are gone? Are they?
Speaker 2: You gotta stand there and talk all day?
Speaker 1: My hand ain't getting any better. On. Have you heard
of the Enfield gang? Enfield? Yeah, I got a circular
on him just the other day. It's in my desk somewhere.
This man is Mason Enfield. His partner in the saloon
was another member of the gang. When they call.
Speaker 4: French, are you sure he's lying, Sheriff, never even heard
of the Enfield Gang.
Speaker 1: I'll see if I can find the circular. Here's the bandage.
Hold out your hand, now, let's see what we can do.
Thanks rabbit head, the good thing. My left hands in
good shake. What did you hit it? Because he tried
to hit me. Yes, she didn't want me to tell
you who he was. Ah, you are right. There's pictures
here on the circular with the others. Here's the one
that was in the saloon with him. French. French shall
bring the others back here to get MASONOV. Three more
of the mowing, and they'll shoot this town up and
drag the jail down the middle of the stream. You're
gonna need help. Let me out of here, No owen.
I helped your father once you and I could nail
the Enfield gag. I won't let you out, Paladin. I'll
round up a few deputies. We'll be ready for the
endfields when they get here. I hope you are on
because there's a lot that could go wrong.
Speaker 5: There goes a treasure car, there goes another, and another,
and one of them may be your car. Yes, folks,
you may have a Fram Treasure Hunt filter in your
car worth a thousand dollars and not even know it.
A Fram filter worth one thousand silver dollars. A filter
change is important to today's cars, so important that Fram Corporation,
in conjunction with its silver anniversary, is paying sixty thousand
dollars in cash to get you to check your filters now.
Last year, ten thousand secretly numbered Fram filters were distributed
all over the United States and installed in cars during
regular servicing. These filters are worth from one dollar to
one thousand dollars. You may have one in your car
and not even know it. A Fram filter worth one
thousand silver dollars. Check your oil filter and air filter now.
If there's a specially numbered Fram filter in your car,
you will win up to one thousand silver dollars and
your dealer will win the same amount. Get in on
Fram's big silver treasure hunt. Check your car filters now.
Speaker 1: Owen Deaver, stubborn when it came to upholding his new laws,
was inherently a kind hearted man. He was considerate enough
to move me to another cell, which allowed me a
decent night's sleep away from Mason Infiews. Next morning, Ma
Dever let me out to have breakfast with her in
the kitchen, Owen was out trying to round up some deputies.
Speaker 2: Allidan, what am I going to do about Owen in
his crazy books?
Speaker 1: See, you're still young. You'll learn in time if he
doesn't get killed first.
Speaker 2: And you think they'll come, the in fields.
Speaker 1: And they'll come.
Speaker 3: No one knows how to fight. Mister Deever taught him,
I shoot a gun, use his fists. Everything he can
hold his own when it comes to fighting. But he
never learned the good judgment his father had.
Speaker 1: He's a rare youngster who learns wisdom from his parents.
It usually comes self taught through experience.
Speaker 2: Do you have any luck on?
Speaker 1: Oh? No? What are you doing out of yourself? Peladin?
I let him out, he's under arrest. Don't you ever
let him out again?
Speaker 2: What do you do? Rest me?
Speaker 1: Get back inside? Peladin? All right?
Speaker 2: Instead of putting him back in jail, why don't you
deputize him.
Speaker 1: He's a friend, he's also a prisoner. Get in there, Owen.
Speaker 3: When your father ran this office, he wasn't afraid to
take advice, not even from a woman.
Speaker 1: I'm not pa. I don't try to be you couldn't be.
Speaker 2: He was respected and well liked. Well, why shouldn't he
be well like?
Speaker 1: He never stepped on anyone's toes.
Speaker 2: He didn't have to, and he didn't need these five
books to tell him what was right or wrong.
Speaker 1: She's right on now. Don't you starting on me, Paladin?
What's the matter with everyone? Why can't they understand what
I'm trying to do here? What made you choose the
Philadelphia ordinances for three wins? Because they're good ones. I
like living in a city guided by laws like these.
But this isn't Philadelphia. There's no mayor here, no town council.
All you have is a sheriff and a judge who
comes through once a month. It's the sheriff who must
decide what's right and what's best for his town. Yeah. Yeah,
And if the sheriff gets up on the wrong side
of the bed one morning, everything's a crime that day.
But if he wakes up feeling good, nothing's illegal. That's
why we've got to have a legal, written code to live.
I'm not arguing against that principle, but don't you think
that you should write your own code, one that fits your.
Speaker 2: They're out there.
Speaker 1: Who's out there in seals?
Speaker 5: Out front?
Speaker 2: I saw them through the curtains.
Speaker 3: Two men are behind a wagon across the street. The
other ones at the side of the house.
Speaker 1: They're waiting for you to come out the front door.
I'll go out the back door and around the side.
You won't have a chance against three killers. Let me
go with you, No, ma, I get my gun and
go with him. Go ahead. You know how to pull
a trigger. You want to get hur killed.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna stand by and let them come in
here and shoot us.
Speaker 1: After you get killed, there's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2: I can draw their fire, give you a better chance
to kill you.
Speaker 1: Don't you understand who's going with you? All? And your
mother or me? All right? All right, palette and you win.
Get my gun. Mon. Sure there's a flat roof over
the jail. Is there any way we can get up
on top without making too much noise? Yeah? Yeah, through
the kitchen. There's a ladder just outside the back door.
It's your gun, thanks, mar Let's go.
Speaker 2: Get out.
Speaker 1: There's another one out there. Yeah, eat it out of
the man on the side of the building came run back.
What'll we do? Go up to the front window and
open fire on the two op of the wagon. I'll
try to get this man back here. I'll stay down
on the floor and open the door to draw his fire.
And now go on hurry. Yeah, yeah, I made a
good target standing up at the rainbarrow if you'd have
crouched behind it. Do you think these two by the
wagon are the only ones left? Uh huh? Now you
take anything on the right. Now, I'll take the left.
As soon as one of them raises up the shop.
You got him. You know how to use a rifle.
I had a good teacher. It goes to the other
he's down. Come on, both of them are dead. You're
pretty good with a six gun. I had some experience
with the same teacher you did. My paw was a
man you could learn a lot from. Yeah, I remember
something else I learned from him the last time I
was here. It was something he said. What was that?
That one man doesn't have the right to say what's
good for all men? The law man doesn't try to
dictate the will of the people. He reflects it, Paladin.
You know, anyone might be interested in buying some books.
I wouldn't sell those books on and just put them
away for a while. You knows, someday three Winds might
have a mayor, town council, or even sidewalks. Yeah. Maybe,
So come on, we gotta dig some graves. Oh hey boy,
I know you come in on the stage tonight. I
make bet on your well, don't ever make bets on
when I'll be returning to the crowd. Let's get my
luggage up of the room when you please. Oh yes,
I know when you come back this time. It's in
the air. What's in the air? Rain? It rains when
you leave, and when it rains again, I know you
come back.
Speaker 2: Oh this time.
Speaker 1: Incidentally, what about the young lady, the one I accidentally
knocked down when I left? Oh, you make a very
big splash. Oh, he saw. She's the one I make
bet with on your returning. And she's still here. Did
she order a new dress? No, not yet. She waited
for you, She says, she will ask you to go
shopping with her. I remember she was the most attractive
young lady. Who oh, most attracted. Why don't you make
arrangements for this evening? Hey boy, to go shopping? Of course,
but be sure we start in the lounge at seven
with cocktails. You saw, he saw paladi. Here comes Elmer Blurt,
world's lowest pressure salesman. Nobody home. He rode off the
body build. They're at your service.
Speaker 4: I only came to tell you about the new nineteen
fifty nine Ramblers.
Speaker 1: Okay, lie down on the table and let's talk.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know lie down, but the fifty nine

Speaker 1: Yes, their only.
Speaker 5: Rambler has the best of all big car rooms, small
car economy.
Speaker 2: Well you've sold me, sign me.

my Rambler so I can get my Martyr Pad.
Speaker 1: Rambler out sales all six of the best selling foreign
