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. : Good. Here pin that on.
[Brown gives Jenks a badge]
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.
