But toby wouldnt do anything wrong, major. Honest he wouldnt. Well, i dont know, after his drinking last night, im not so sure. I want to talk to you. Honey.

Do i have to tell you . Well, id like to know. I was running away. Youwhy . So i ran away. Well, where are your parents . My father was in the war, he. Didnt come back. It made my mother sick, and she died. Werent there any other relatives, nobody else for you to go to . I have an uncle. Hes somewhere west sacramento, i think. I have to find him. So thats why you ran away, huh . Then you met tobias. Yes. Anything about where he came from, his past . Not much. But i know he wouldnt do anything wrong. Tobys good and kind. Hes the only one who even cares about me. Well, what about when hes drinking . I know he shouldnt, major, but toby cant help it. I think something happened to him sometime, and it makes him sad, and. Thats why i wanted to talk to you. Tobias has told me that he hasnt got any more of that medicine of his. He has. Ive had his wagon searched. Hes hid it. Hes very good at that. Major, if i can get toby to give it to me, you wont have to tie him up, will you . Well, no, i. I suppose not. Ill get it. You know, i feel kind of sorry for that little kid. For one her age, shes picked herself quite a load to carry. Major, my father was a very wise and a very good man, he was a man of god. And he always held that a girl child was a womana mother from the day she was born. He was right. Toby. Toby. Well. Morning, midge. I bet i know what youre after. Now, you wait a minute and ill im sorry, honey, but i lost your horse someplace. I found it down by our wagon. It was all broken. Oh, well. Im gonna whittle you a better one anyway.

I dont want you to get in any more trouble. Its all right, honey. Its all right. music continues well, major, they seem to be enjoying it. Yeah, they usually do. Glad you got em started. Well, theres nothing like a little music and dancing to make people forget unpleasantries and get rid of tension. She told me that he used to own a carnival or something, he knows all kinds of magic and tricks and that kind of stuff. Major, thatll be fine for you and for tobias. I think ill go spread the word around a little, sort of set the stage for him. Do that. You told me a lie. Me alone. If they find you here like this, i dont know what theyll do. You stay here, toby, you hear . Dont you leave this wagon. Midge. Wheres my medicine . I gotta have my medicine, midge. Major adams. Well, midge. Wheres tobias . Uh, hes not feeling very well. He said maybe hed feel better in a little while. Do you think i oughta go talk to him . No. I mean, he probably just wants to think a little. Tell him id like to have him join us when he feels like it. Yes, i will. All right, honey. I was, a little. Im afraid im getting too old for that sort of thing. Oh, not you. Thank you. Have you seen michael . No, i havent. Doesnt mike like to dance . We used to. Michael really ought to mix more with people, but im afraid id better go find him. Excuse me, major. Surely. music continues oh, midge, honey, where have you whatever in the world major, i dont think these people are ever going to bed, do you . Its gettin kind of late. Maybe i better go see about tobias. Oh, here comes midge now. Midge, honey, i was just coming to look for you. concerned chatter man what happened . Im sorry, mrs. Folsom. Hes gone. onlookers gasp have you got any idea who might have done this . That money box in there. Ten thousand dollars. Man ten thousand dollars oh, michael. It wasnt worth his life sobbing some of you ladies please. Take care of her, will you . sobbing folks, theres nothing you can see or do here. Someone has killed mike folsom. I knew it. It was bound to happen. Was it, alf . Sure it was. Mike was always just itchin for trouble. If i was you, id keep my mouth shut. Everybody knows that you had no love for mike folsom. Now, hold on, major. You aint sayin you think i im not sayin anything except that you better mind your own business i might as well tell you now, folks, itll come out sooner or later. That knife thats sticking out of mike folsoms back belongs to tobias jones. No no, major toby didnt do it midge, no. Let me go major adams, toby didnt do it he couldnt now, come on, darling.

I didnt kill him. Then howd he know mike was dead . He knows all about it ike, bring that rope. Youre gonna hang this man, youre wrong, cause ill stop ya. It might cause more bloodshed. I dont want that. I dont think anybody else does. Major, we havent got nothing against you, but why are you protecting this man . He killed mike he much as admitted it. Now, a man kills, hehe got to be punished hung by the neck until hes dead. Aint that what the law says . All right, then. Weweure aint doing nothin wrong, are we . Yes, you are. Youre trying to hang a man without a fair trial. The law says every mans got a right to a hearing. Youre talking like we were dealing with a nice, decent, respectable man, major. But himlook at him what is he . A tramp, a nobody theres been nothing but trouble ever since he and that kid came. And now hes killed a man. What more do you want . I dont care what you think of this man. Whoever he is or whatever hes done, i say hes gonna have a chance to defend himself. And if you boys dont want to go along with me on that, me and my menll st
