Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.: Now, you going to have a peace officer. You there!
Deputy Marshal Leo Jenks: Me?
Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.: Yeah, you're the only one carrying a gun. You ever kill a man?
Deputy Marshal Leo Jenks: Well, yessir, I reckon I did.

Brown, Territorial Governor's Rep.: You are hereby sworn a Deputy Sheriff. You salary is twenty-five dollars a year, payable next year. Now, you'll take up a collection and build a jail. If you get a serious outlaw that ain't dead, write a letter to the capital and we'll put a circuit judge on ya. So here's the town charter, the census list forms and a petition for statehood. Get people to sign that when you ain't busy.
